After only a day and a half of tweaking, I'm standards-compliant. If your browser can handle it, check out the "Style" menu and pick your favorite style. (If you're behind a proxy server, you may need to reload the page.) I can now display the W3C logos with pride.

Of course, the trade-off is that I can't put the Blogger logo at the bottom of the page any longer, because you can't (easily?) put things at the bottom of a page using CSS. (There are commands that logically should do this, but they don't work with any of the browsers I've tried.)

I'll just put it below the navbar. After another day or two's effort, I have all the links working again in the archives; it turns out that putting relative links in your Blogger template, and then putting your archive files in a separate subdirectory, is Not Good.

Incidentally, if the USA/Oz logo in the corner looks to you like it has a white background, then your browser does not display PNG files with transparent backgrounds correctly. I've tried to rework the style sheets so that they don't look especially horrible in this situation, but you should really file a bug report with the people who wrote your browser.
