I recently downloaded the SEO toolkit app and ran it against my site. It failed near the end of the process with the following error message:
Invalid name character in '_META_COLOR:BACKGROUND'. The ':' character, hexadecimal value 0x3A, cannot be included in a name
I brought my site down locally and removed all the blog posts. It was successful to process it then. One by one, I added back in my blog posts until it failed again. The post it failed on was a standard post with nothing special in the
HTML....so I edited the post until I had narrowed down the single line of markup causing the problem. It was a link to a colleague's site. On his site, he has
<meta name="color:Background" content="#D0CCC1"/>
On line 6 of his markup. Note the ":" character in the name property. I believe that is what is causing the problem. My complaint is that regardless of who I link to, I wasn't asking for information about seo on my colleague's site...only on
mine.
Any information would be helpful
