Q:

Getting random link after buttons div

No matter what I put after these buttons, the content under them is also a button. What am I missing? You can see on my current site - the footer is after the button so there's a half footer that links to google (same place as the buttons).

Would include a screenshot but that won't really convey it.
Relevant code attached.

#buttons {
      text-align: center;
      margin-top: 30px;
    }
#button1{
    width: 200px;
    height: 50px;
    border-radius: 25px; 
    -moz-border-radius: 25px; 
    -webkit-border-radius: 25px; 
    border: 0px solid #800000;

    margin-bottom: 5px;

A:

You have an improperly closed <button> tag. I've updated </button to </button> in the below snippet. You also never close your <a> tags, that has also been updated.
As a heads up it is not valid HTML to have a button tag nested inside of an anchor tag. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/6393863/1168379 if you want it to look like a button, but function like a link then update the snippet so that <button> is removed and <a> has all the styling you want done to make it look like a button.
