Testing our homepage www.webnauts.net with the W3C Markup Validator

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webnauts.net%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&outline=1&verbose=1
I got the message:
" If this does not look like a real outline, it is likely that the
heading tags are not being used properly. (Headings should reflect the
logical structure of the document; they should not be used simply to
add emphasis, or to change the font size.)"
Can someone tell me if I, or the validator is doing something wrong?
Thanks a lot in advance for your kind support,
John
The validator is not doing something wrong. Neither are you. First off,
I do not think that it is any big deal. You have an outline that
reflects the structure. There are two levels in your outline: h1 and h2.
If one of them was out of order, the validator would show a gray
background-color for the heading that is misplaced-- sort of a red flag.
There is no red flag up for your page. You are good to go. OTOH, if you
look at your page with styles disabled, then the document structure is
more apparent. And there /may/ be room to develop an outline with h1
through h6-- rather than only h1 and h2. Whether you need to do that is
a choice, not a requirement-- at least in my mind.
