Hi secweb. Thanks for the information - recalling we are all asking questions to try to get the information that will help identify the most likely cause/s of the problem.
73 errors came up, but maybe it is because of it being for WordPress?
Wordpress alone does not cause or create errors, so I would start by eradicating them first. 73 may seem a lot but often errors "cascade', so fixing one at the beginning of the file will also solve several later problems. Just start at the top of the w3 report and work through, taking especial care to correct anything reported as a "parse" error - missing semi-colons and brackets, for example. That may not solve the problem completely but means invalid code is nolonger one possible cause of the erratic behaviour.

where would I find the html file for my site since it is WordPress
Not a dumb question at all! The HTML validator allows you to input a uri which saves the trouble of "finding" the html. Otherwise, recall that systems like wordpress are designed to output x/html, so load your page in a browser, select "view source", and copy/paste into the validators manual input box. (The location of the "view source" command will depend on the browser and platform. In ie right click and select the command, in FF it should be under "View" on the main tool bar on both PC and Mac.)

can access pictures on the school network if I work around it.
Can you tell us what your "work-around" is? Otherwise, as Topr8 suggested earlier on, can you access the images by manually typing the uri into the address bar?
