      Stray end tag head.

      An body start tag seen but an element of the same type was already open.

      Cannot recover after last error. Any further errors will be ignored.

        Your problem is this piece of code:

        That should be inside the body of the page instead of the head.

          When you look at this and see the giant header that is what the problem is. I can help you clean up your header. I apologize that I just had some technical issues when I had recently replied. And you asked for help but there no longer stopping me from answering so.

          if you look at the same URL that you posted however use the show outline and summary

          http://validator.nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.topnotchlawsuitloans.com&charset=UTF-8&showsource=yes&showoutline=yes#l53c7

          you have a lot of issues stemming from the structure of your HTML.

          To start out the cannot parts I have underlined and  below the header or outside of the header

          for instance I got the information that is pasted below here

          this is your header there are certain things that belong in it

          it starts with   and ends with

          the Apple viewport tags that you have pasted in our outside of the header

          here's some information showing that those tags need to be inside of the header wrappers

            Federico,

            Great to see you my friend. I believe you are 100% correct there needs to be a lot of things inside the wrappers of the header.

            As far as fixing the issues with the site throughout the 3 questions you've asked I am yet to going to weigh in on the 3rd one however if you're building a website unless you're going to hire a developer.

            I strongly suggest you subscribe to a tool called team treehouse I use it, and I could not be happier.

            http://teamtreehouse.com/

            below is a validator called unicorn that takes a look at your code

            http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/check?ucn_uri=www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com&doctype=Inline&charset=(detect automatically)&ucn_task=conformance#

            if I can make some suggestions I strongly recommend getting an HTML editor the crème de la crème is Adobe's Dreamweaver however that might be a little heavy for some people.

            There are some excellent HTML editors if you Google them or if you like simply check out

            http://codepen.io/pro/

            or some text editors that are designed for HTML

            Text Editors

            Text editors are often a matter of personal preference. Try installing some other text-editors and see which one you like best. Here's a list to get you started.

            • TextMate - Mac only with free trial available. This text-editor is similar to Sublime Text.
            • Notepad++ Windows only and free to use. It's similar to Notepad (which is included with Windows) but has some more advanced features.
            • Codekit - Mac only with free trial available. Includes support for more advanced frameworks and templating languages like Less, Sass, Stylus, Coffeescript, and more.
            • Vim - This text-editor is very powerful but also difficult to learn. It's intended for advanced programmers.

            I went and ran your site through Internet marketing ninjas crawl test and found some issues

            http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/google-sitemap-generator/tmp/a8f87d2ba4effc9b8b291746c9f1d944.html

            here is an example of what a header when constructed correctly looks like

            <title>Smells Like Bakin' Cupcake Company</title>

            <link< span="">rel="shortcut icon"type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon"href="favicon.ico"><link< span="">rel="apple-touch-icon"type="image/png"href="icon.57.png"><link< span="">rel="apple-touch-icon"type="image/png"sizes="72x72"href="icon.72.png"><link< span="">rel="apple-touch-icon"type="image/png"sizes="114x114"href="icon.114.png"><link< span="">rel="icon"type="image/png"href="icon.114.png"></link<></link<></link<></link<></link<>
