The three things you need in all of your HTML documents. (Note: you still give all your documents a .html extension, despite our use of the term XHTML.)

Add a "DOCTYPE" declaration to all your documents. A List Apart has a decent article with all of the doctypes you'll probably ever use for your projects. (Strict vs. Transitional)
```
 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
```

Your beginning <html> tag shall henceforth look like this:

      <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

And you must include the following tag within your <head> </head> section:

      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

XHTML rules (most of which you've already been doing!)

Tag contents should always be lowercase.
Tags that have attributes defined in them must have quotation marks, either a single or double.
All tags must have an accompanying closing tag, even "empty" tags. (e.g. "<hr />")
Nest your tags properly: First In, Last Out as they say. (i.e. , NOT )
Do not use deprecated tags or attributes, or "out of date" tags. Check the book or Google to see if a tag is deprecated or just try it and see if your page validates.

All pages that you make must have a validation link on them for both HTML and CSS. It might look something like this:

<p><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer">XHTML 1.0</a>,
<a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer">CSS 2.0</a></p>
