#  Error  Line 134, Column 247: end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

Looks like the DTD specifies XHTML 1.0 Transitional and that it isn't correct.

Attachment: Close image tags

The solution that seems to keep the validator is to close the 3 images tags, i.e.

<img ...> to <img ... />

Probably needs changing in the templates used for that blog. Jen ?

Managed to fix the Widgets myself, and now, looking at the validator:
