I have this little website I'm making from a web template I found, and "apparently" the template wasn't 100% correct, the validator at w3schools didn't like some of the things going on. The item that I am currently trying to fix is the text under the links on the left hand side, that say things like "home page". "about me". etc. Does anyone know how to fix the "element undefined" error that the validator gives me? Here is what I have for my code:
CODE
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>/index.html</title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<h1>asdf.org</h1>
<h2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbspplace to waste time</h2>
<br />
<hr />

</div> <!-- end header -->

<div class="spacer"></div>
<div id="left">

<div id="leftcontent">

    <ul>
        <li><strong><a href="./index.html">home</a></strong></li>
        <text>home page</text>
        <li><a href="./about.html">about me</a></li>
        <text>about</text>
        <li><a href="./blog.html">blog</a></li>
        <text>random discussions</text>
        <li><a href="./things.html">things i've done</a></li>
        <text>nothing special</text>
        <li><a href="./contact.html">contact me</a></li>
        <text>email or other</text>
        <li><a href="./etc.html">/etc</a></li>
       <text> anything else</text>
    </ul>

and here is the CSS if that's helpful, I didn't want to spam everything on one page. Any advice is much appreciated. If you're feeling especially generous, I would appreciate input on any other error as well.
