I love this tool! It has helped me no end in working out what silly things I have done in my code that stops the whole page from working. It has meant that I have spent far less time trying to figure what I did wrong and just fixing it up, reloading and moving on. If you haven't used this as you are writing your code, I highly recommend that you do as it makes life so much easier. You can either put the code directly in or you can just paste the link in and with one click you are shown the error of your ways. Try it out at: http://validator.w3.org/
Now that I have all (or most) of my HTML working I will be moving onto the more somplex part of my project. I need to get my CSS working. I have been having a bit of trouble with this but I am determined to master it. I will begin battling with this first thing tomorrow morning and keep testing it until I get there. If all else fails there is always next weeks class to get some feedback from my peers and lecturer on how to fix what doesn't work. In the meantime I am going to be referring to the two texts that I have been using all semester; Nierderst Robbins - Learning Web Design and Wyke-Smith's stylin' with CSS. With these two resources and all the available resources on the web I should manage to sort out most of my CSS issues in the next couple of days.
The other issue I still have to resolve is my Contact Me page however more about that tomorrow.

Totally agree that this is the best tool! I would have been lost without it. Each time I entered some new code I would test it straight away. If I left everything to the end and tested it then I think I would have found it hard to remember exactly what I was trying to achieve and that would have been harder to resolve.
