Why do I have four tags marked in red?

I know it means there is something that's not closed properly somewhere, but I cannot figure it out. Anyone?

Your second <a> tag in your footer wasn't closed properly, you had <a/> instead of </a>. Also you was closing a div after your footer but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding opening div tag so delete that aswell. Here is your original code:

    <footer>
      <a href="http://twitter.com/olealsaker"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo"></a>
      <a href="http://facebook.com/olealsaker"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook Logo"><a/>

    </footer>
    </div>  
  </body>
</html>

Here is the code without the errors:

    <footer>
      <a href="http://twitter.com/olealsaker"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo"></a>
      <a href="http://facebook.com/olealsaker"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook Logo"></a>

    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Hope this has helped :)

Great! Thanks for swift reply, Martin. That wrongly placed dash would have driven me insane.

No problem! Be prepared for many more infuriating and hard to find errors like that, although you do learn to spot them much quicker after a while :)
