What do you see on the page? Is there no page there at all? Do you have a blank page? Or do you see the template but no entries? If you could provide more details (and a link) it would help us to diagnose your problem.

well the page is blank, I just left it as the regular code of a blank page with no content to see if it would work...is there supposed to be a code I place on the page? http://www.digitaldoozie.com/blog

Did you make an entry already?  Create a new entry and also make sure that it's set to PUBLISH instead of DRAFT (the default).

Have you changed the default templates at all?  

Also, if there's an existing index.html page in your blog folder, delete it (or download it first to back it up) an remove it.

I did, make a new entry, and did set it to publish, no theres not another idnex.html, and no i didnt alter the default template.

What are you using for your local site path in blog config?
-.Plasma.-
/httpdocs/blog    


is that wrong? huh.gif

It's not enough of a path; it needs to be a full server path. What does mt-check.cgi give you as your current working directory?
-.Plasma.-
CODE
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/digitaldoozie.com/cgi-bin/mt


well earlier when I had it long, it didnt work, but I will try again

alright well i tried it with
CODE
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/digitaldoozie.com/httpdocs/blog

and
CODE
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/digitaldoozie.com/blog
and neither worked

Just for giggles try
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/digitaldoozie.com/httpdocs/blog/
-.Plasma.-
nope that didnt work either  :(  maybe its time for me to look into a different blogger
bmk
Well gosh we have no way of knowing what your path is.  :)

From what you said, it looks like it's this
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/digitaldoozie.com/httpdocs/blog
so make sure you have it in there right.
-.Plasma.-
its in there right, i copied and pasted it..
bmk
Okay, and what is the exact error you get when you try to add an entry then?
-.Plasma.-
theres no error in entry adding, thats all fine and dandy, it just wont show up on the site, is there a code or something I need to add on the site in order for it show the entries?
-.Plasma.-
alright, one of your other users who i know from elsewhere on the internet helped me...the correct directory was
CODE
home/vhosts/digitaldoozie.com/httpdocs/blog
