I have created 4 new entries that I specify as "Publish". When I "Save" the article and then "Rebuild All Files", they don't show up on my site. For reference, check my Winemaking Journal.

Any ideas?

For what its worth, on my "Entry" screen some of the icons are broken graphics. Could it be that my directories are all screwed up?

Please advise.

Thanks in advance,
Sasha

Well, they're showing up in your archives, but not on the main index (not even the calendar is being updated), which leads me to believe that either your Local Site Path is incorrect, or you possibly changed the output file on the Main Index Template - in either case, the Main Index page is probably being generated somewhere other than where you're looking for it.

With the help of a friend, I fiqured it out!

Since i code in HomeSite and then paste it into the Movable Type text entry fields, I inadvertenly copied the HTML code with out the tags.

The solutions was simply changing my index page code to:

CODE

<MTEntries>
<$MTEntryTrackbackData$>

    <MTDateHeader>
    <div class="date">
    <$MTEntryDate format="%B %d, %Y"$>
    </div>
    </MTDateHeader>

    <div class="blogbody">

    <a name="<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>"></a>
    <span class="title"><$MTEntryTitle$></span>

    <$MTEntryBody$>

    <MTEntryIfExtended>
    <span class="extended"><a href="<$MTEntryLink$>#<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>">MORE...</a></span><br />
    </MTEntryIfExtended>

    <div class="posted">Posted by <$MTEntryAuthor$> at <a href="<$MTEntryLink$>#<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>"><$MTEntryDate format="%I:%M %p"$></a>
    <MTEntryIfAllowComments>
    | <a href="<$MTCGIPath$>mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>" onclick="OpenComments(this.href); return false">Comments (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)</a>
    </MTEntryIfAllowComments>
    <MTEntryIfAllowPings>
    | <a href="<$MTCGIPath$>mt-tb.cgi?__mode=view&entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>" onclick="OpenTrackback(this.href); return false">Trackback (<$MTEntryTrackbackCount$>)</a>
    </MTEntryIfAllowPings>
    </div>

    </div>


</MTEntries>
