This will usually be in your root (top) directory. Download it and edit in your favourite text editor. You will see the code for permalinks within and possibly some rules for wp-cache also (if installed). Simply paste the above code before anything in your .htaccess, save and upload. Hope this helps.

I use xHTML strict on my News site, so it can easily get alot of errors, if I don't look out for them, and fix them, after an update.

Validators : XHTML / CSS 3 / RSS

Might be useful to you. Might not :) it's a suggestion while your ironing out the design.

Your initial email wasn't immediately clear and I thought you were referring to wrapping <ul> in <div> as a rule. I was going to respond via email. I know my site doesn't validate. I'm still ironing out the redesign. I have adjusted accordingly. Many thanks indeed. Forgive my curtness.

<ul class=”nav”>
<ul id=”menu”>
<li id=”home”>Link</li>
<li id=”about”>Link</li>
<li id=”blog” >Link</li>
<li id=”portfolio”>Link</li>
<li id=”contact”>link</li>
</ul>
</div>

That is essentially your navigation at the top of the screen. See a problem? yeah that is right, you opened with an <ul> but then closed with a </div> in that area. You can't do that!
You also can't have two <ul> <ul> one after another with out a <li> between them. So adviced that you mean the <ul id=”nav”> to be a div because the <ul id=”menu”> was confused the browser in how to handle the list.

Don't be so lazy and think you did nothing wrong in your xHTML. Your site isn't validating properly right now. Check it yourself.

I will review the block of chinese traffic in 7 days again. Considering I never get chinese visitors, I don't feel this is so drastic a measure and it seems to be the only way this traffic has been halted.

I can understand blocking referrer traffic from these suspect domains, if you are that worried, but to block whole chinese specific ip address is alittle extreme.
It is best to just block the suspected domains and be a reminder to keep your site and server (if your control this) up to date with the latest versions.
