Your website didn’t validate either. There were sixteen errors. Sorry, but I couldn’t help myself. I don’t even have the first clue what it means to be validated.
I had my parking validated the other day. Your site doesn’t do that either.

Yeah, but I’m not a government agency with a legal obligation to run an ADA-compliant website. :)
Waldo, you can fix that validation error by turning #headerimg into a regular img instead of a div, complete with alt text, and putting the anchor tag around just that. More semantic and accessible that way.
As for the main page, there is of course the same header problem, with the addition of bad ampersand handling in the Flickr code (not Waldo’s fault, I assume), unsanitized title text for post titles, and sketchy blog ad code that should really be handled with an iframe, I think. These additional problems are systemic and would require harder work. There’s also a couple nesting issues with the blog roll, I think.
On the whole, of course, the level of validation here is far superior to about 99.99% of the rest of the web.
I didn’t realize that this had to do with ADA-Compliance issues. It turns out that my site isn’t ADA-Compliant, either. We are definitely going to work on that.
