title: HTML Validator "self-closing syntax" and "non-void" errors
body: <p>I am having trouble validating my code with W3 Validator. I am new to Web Design. Can someone help me. The Validator states:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error: Self-closing syntax (/>) used on a non-void HTML element. Ignoring the slash and treating as a start tag.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>From line 15, column 1; to line 15, column 41</p>
