I ran it on my computer and it looks fine. What were the errors? HTML doesn’t really have errors. It will run no matter what, it may just look messed up.

It’s been awhile since I’ve done any HTML. Now it’s all VB, but I’ll give it a shot.
I notice first that each <li> does not have a corresponding </li>. I can’t remember if lists require a closing tag, but I’m fairly certain they do.
That’s all *I* can see. I’m looking for other problems, but I don’t see anything.
No, wait - the new HTML requires that <p> does NOT have a matching </p>, but that it be included as <p/>. But that would only account for 10 errors, certainly not 30.
Good luck. Maybe someone else can spot some of the others.

You need to declare the docutype
To me it looks like it is done in
HTML 4.01 Transitional
You should add this to the top of your document above the <head> tag.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Declaring the docutype will help solve your problems.

1. Every <li> requires a closing </li>.
2. You aren’t allowed to put any of these tags directly in the <body>, they must be enclosed in a containing element, such as a <div></div>.
3. You’re missing the <html> </html> tags surrounding the document.
4. You’re missing an opening <head> tag.
5. You’re missing a document title in the <title></title> tags, which should be in the head.
6. You’re missing the document type declaration.
That’s what I see at first glance. Your paragraph tags are fine.
Edit: I love it when people go on thumb-down sprees.
