I'm writing up a GuideMLed version of my page and when i click on the "preview" button, it's giving me an error, and I don't know how to fix it.

Here is the whole thing, with the error as given to me...

Hi sweetie. smiley - hugsmiley - winkeye

*puts on guru hat*

I think what happened with that link thing is that you tried to insert a title where you didn't need one - like as if you were trying to give a picture a title.

This:

Jacob's Poetry

should be

Jacob's Poetry

I think. Pretty sure.

'kay - had another idea when I tested out the code for that page on a blank entry of mine. You'll need to delete the whole "title" bit from those other two links as well in order for them to work properly. The GuideML problem-detector thingie sometimes only picks up one error at a time, so it'll give you errors for all three until you fix them.

I'm sure you're all sorted, but just to point out what your *actual* problem was:

Jacob's Poetry

So what you actually typed was :

Jacob's Poetry

and the problem is that there's no space between the " and TITLE. Hence, required white space was missing. The correct link is:

Jacob's Poetry

(note the space between the URL and the word TITLE)

Just for future reference.
