Comments on Missing text, randomly messed up li's, what's going on?

The stars are bullet points I coded to show up with the id #starlist and that seems to be working OK. But other than that, this is a pretty straightforward page. I'm having two problems and am only assuming they're connected. Been working on it for hours and can't find the problem, so here I am asking for help.  1). The last li is showing up on the same line as the li before it and I can't figure out why. I'm not seeing any open tags, which was my first thought.  Nor am I seeing any code that is different than the li's above it.  2).  There is more text after the last li that you can see only if  you get into the page source.  But it's just encased in a span, thought I've tried paragraphs and div's now as well.   Nothing I've tried seems to make a difference.  I've already somewhat cleaned up the original code I was sent for this page, but I know I didn't get rid of all the obsolete tags in there.  Could those be the problem? I'm really quite stuck here.  Any ideas?  Perhaps I'm just overlooking something. Thanks!

There are also 48 errors and 10 warnings when trying to validate it. You also have a span nesting error in the first <li> Try using an external css stylesheet and tidy up your code and you will probably find it then works.

But thank you!  I'll try that.

Pasting already-WYSIWYG content into the WYSIWYG editor there could have unpredictable results I suppose. I'd recommend either composing the page there, or simply uploading the html made elsewhere to the templates/pages/ directory.
