wow someone else cares? wahoo!
and I did find another blog that this issue occurs on, it was the blog linked to in the "New Private Beta Opening Aug 24!" post, http://www.viewfromafarley.com/
Validation page: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=htt...(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0
that blog uses the Wordpress IntenseDebate plugin with the comments on the front page, and "posttitle" is after an "&".
this link documents the solution: http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validat...
I am excited to see all the secret new features in the new WP IntenseDebate Plugin. I can't really think of anything that could be done better (except maybe XHTML validation lol). but all that is an unrelated topic.

Sorry if this is obvious and I'm misunderstanding something. You wrote that "there is a "&posttime" in there, all that needs to be changed is that part of the url to "&posttime."
What's the difference? You said that it is "&posttime" and that you want it to be "&posttime".
Please clarify.
Thanks,
Michael

@db:
XHTML validation is important for a lot of things. First of all it is a set of standards for how webpages are to be coded. If nobody followed a set of standards we would still have sites with messages "best viewed in internet explorer in 640x480 resolution."
Encouraging the standards means that every webpage will load the same for everyone, regardless of browser. It also allows anyone looking at the code for my website to understand what I was trying to do.
valid XHTML is also important for search engine optimization, and speed of loading the page.
In this particular case it is not critical, as it only affects the comment section, but if i were to use an & in a hyperlink, it would not load correctly because the character code for an amperstand is &
here is a website talking about the problem of amperstands in URLs. http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validat...
@michael dang. well thank you for replying again
and wow I just realized only the first paragraph of my original post is here. that is really bad... In case it wasn't clear, all wordpress blogs using the intensedebate plugin to show a collapsed comments link on each post on the main page has this problem.
for example the following block on my main page has this issue:
< div class="comm">< a href="http://blog.aliencam.net/2008/07/lamy-vistasafari-cleaningdisassembly-guide/#respond" title="Comment on Lamy Vista/Safari Cleaning/Dis assembly Guide">< script src='http://www.intensed ebate.com/js /getCommentLink.php?acct=5abcb8a8b55ef0b354d41a6e2b24ab35&postid=504&posttitle=Lamy+Vista%2FSafari+Cleaning%2FDisassembly+Guide&posturl=http%3 A%2F%2Fblog.aliencam.net%2F2008%2F07%2Flamy-vistasafari-cleaningdisassembly-guide%2F&posttime=2008-07-15+01%3A51%3A23&postauthor=aliencam' type='tex t/javascript' defer='defer'></scri></ a></ div>
there is a "&posttime" in there, all that needs to be changed is that part of the url to "&posttime" and everything would be perfect.

Unfortunately at the moment there’s not a ton we can do. Our scripts are dependent on those variable. We’re playing around with a JavaScript wrapper to make it pass validity tests but no luck yet.
In regards to XHTML validation, I can't really say it any better than this: http://validator.w3.org/docs/why.html

On a less related note: Why is XHTML validation important? Just curious. – db0, on July 15, 2008 08:19

I have the same problem aliencam. I'm luckier in the sense that IDC only loads after the main content is finished but it still delays the correct displaying of the sidebars.
The problem is that the comment counts are quering the IDC database each time to check how many comments each posts have. On a blog's main page where the most recent 10 posts exist, it needs to query 10 times. Add to that the IDC widgets, and the time inrceases even more.
The best thing to do would be to allow somehow the IDC scripts to load last in the page. If that's not an option, then the DB speeds need to be improved.
