This is what scares me most about Manila…Three times now my kids have been shut out of their sites because of this malfunction, and while I know how to get around it to access 98% of what they have, there’s always some content lost. I’ve posted all over the place, but no one seems to know the answer. Really, really frustrating. Does MT have ANY issues like this?
You should be able to pinpoint the problem quickly using David Bayly’s mrDebugger.
The site is working:
http://weblogs.hcrhs.k12.nj.us/jpowell03/about
So I’d suspect something related to news items. Log in and add a department in the News Items prefs.

Added a department, but that didn’t work. And as for the mrDebugger thing…where is the download?
Try switching to a normal site – i.e. not a news item site.

David…that got the error to go away from the homepage, although now she needs to set it up like a story site. But the one message that caused the problem is still corrupt. http://weblogs.hcrhs.k12.nj.us/jpowell03/2003/03/24
Hello Will,
I think I may know why you are getting the error messages. I suspect that some of the News Items have been edited in the discussion group and the XML is not defined properly.
The XML for a News Item should look something like the following when edited via the discussion group.
<newsItem>
<department>department name should be here</department>
<description>the text of the news item should be here</description>
<url>the url of the news item should be here</url>
</newsItem>
Message 46 for the website in question has the department problem. The discussion group url is…
http://weblogs.hcrhs.k12.nj.us/jpowell03/discuss/msgReader$46
…and displays the error.
You can edit the message by going to the url…
http://weblogs.hcrhs.k12.nj.us/jpowell03/discuss/edit/editInBrowser$46
Fix the message using the structure above as a guide. That should fix the news item.
Let us know what happens.
