I was viewing my blog pages using Mozilla and when I clicked the side link to view the November archives, the page displayed as only source code. Then I clicked the back button on my browser, to go back to the main blog page and it had totally disappeared. Just a blank white screen. No error message, no code, no text, no places where you could tell links were missing. Nothing.

I then told it to rebulid pages, in case it had been a software fluke. Didn't help. So I checked out the site files via FTP and everything's fine. It's all there, good as new.

Next, I opened IE explorer (instead of my usual Mozilla) and the entire site is there, fit as a fiddle. Everything displays just fine.

Upon closing and reopening the Mozilla browser, the blank white screen is still there in place of the blog site.

The regular domain URL and other pages on it still work fine in Mozilla. Just the MT stuff is gone.

The blog URL is: http://www.westcottdesigngroup.com/blog
"View source" shows nothing, but when I grab the file via FTP and view it, everything is there and displays just fine in Dreamweaver.

I've read as many "help, my blog is gone!" posts as I can find and the various quick fixes haven't worked. It must be my code or something? (Help! I'm really new to scripting. Got the templates from blogfrocks)

------------ EDIT -----------

I fiddled with the main index, only so much as to put some returns (white space) before and after commented lines, and bring them flush left, and it now works to view the index. This was the second time I had rebuilt it, but perhaps the only time I selected "rebuild only main index."

There is still the issue of source code showing instead of my "November archives" when the link is clicked. Any ideas on why this might be? It's happening in Mozilla, but not IE.

could you show me the code you have actually on the page - from when you download the page via ftp and look at that? viewing the source might not be showing us the bit that's actually causing the problem.

Have you maxed out on the allotted server space on your hosting account? If not, is it possible the server itself has run out of space?
