      2. It took me 2 days to find this but you forgot to add this to the top of the page.


        $$$$$html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"$$$$$

        Replace the last lines $$$$$ with < and > because blogger wouldnt let me post the html tag fully.

    11. My blog is viralitis.blogspot.com if you want to take a look at what I am talking about. Under Viral Eats I included " Viral breakfast, viral main dishes, viral treats" however it did not show up. Under each of those sub links I also wanted it to include another folder to show the different breakfast recipes and treats etc. But that did not show up either. Thanks for you help!
