maybe Blogger is not such a good host for this blog, technically
Well, although I picked a Blogger template that was XHTML compliant, when I applied it to the blog - the resulting document was not XHTML compliant.
I think there are some issues arising from the preprocessor generated parts of this document. I expected them to match the syntax required by the template itself. It looks like they do not do that. Unfortunately, it seems like they are written to presume HTML - not XHTML syntax. So even when a template says it is XHTML, when used in a blog - the blog will not be valid XHTML.
Oh, well. I guess I will put this blog aside for now - until the Blogger tag preprocessor gets an upgrade to generate valid XHTML.

I have found a simple solution to this problem.
Simply delete the <$BlogItemCommentFormOnclick$> tag from your Blog's template if you are having this problem.
Caveats:
1. You should back up your template so you can restore the whole template or the one little piece removed, if it ever becomes necessary/useful to do so.
2. Also, if you cannot read/parse HTML/XHTML source code, then you probably should not attempt to do this.
3. You should validate the resulting weblog after making your template change and Republishing the whole blog with the new template. You can do this by visiting the http://validator.w3.org/ web page - or by grabbing the latest version of the HTML Validator extension for Firefox.
