I only see three answers and no scroll bar or link to see any more.
The display fails at the start of the script tag within answer 3, due to XHTML coding errors.

Looks like it works now.
Down from 48 errors to only 4 now, and the page is fully readable.
I would never promote a URL like http://thevoice.semtags.org/home/index.php as being the root page. The root of a domain is www.example.com/ in that format. It's also bad form to redirect from the real root of a domain to an internal page, especially using a 302 redirect, and another problem is mentioning the index file filename itself. Both www and non-www URLs return content. One of them should be a redirect.
This site has created multiple Duplicate Content problems in three easy moves. The page can be indexed under all of these:
http://thevoice.semtags.org/
http://thevoice.semtags.org/home/
http://thevoice.semtags.org/home/index.php
http://www.thevoice.semtags.org/
http://www.thevoice.semtags.org/home/
http://www.thevoice.semtags.org/home/index.php
and the given URL isn't the permanent link to that particular story, meaning that Google will have to reindex that story under yet another URL later anyway. At least two alternative URLs are already open to indexing:
http://thevoice.semtags.org/home/blog.php?id=1
http://www.thevoice.semtags.org/home/blog.php?id=1
Sorry to hijack the thread, but that site has real implementation issues that need some proper SEO work to fix up.
Side comment: luckily for me, I use Opera and had made a few user stylesheets. Otherwise, the light-grey-type-on-white thing would have me leaving the page. I like color harmony as much as the next person, but ... let's not go too far.
