Is this related to the 404 error reported on July 6 for Chat?

404 ERROR: Page Not Found!

The requested page http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/blogs/bobblewik/index.php could not be found on this server.

Here is what I did today:
Created a blog
clicked visit blog
got Error 404
looked through New User Orientation
searched forums for "create blog"
searched forums for "blog" - nothing obvious
clicked Help
logged out and in again
clicked my blog, and got Error 404 again

browser used Opera 9.21 under Windows Vista Home Premium
I then rechecked these help sources, but I may have missed something:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum82.html
I then changed some blog settings, Entry Options=Show always and Approve guest only
Retried My blog, same 404 error.
What might I have missed?

If BC blogs are broken or limited in some way, can we link to our own blog specifically created for a BC topic?

Thanks,

After your post I had changed the name to hp8055vista thinking the space and fullstop could be a problem, but after trying four browsers, each gave 404 Error.

Your link took me to a page that looks like an empty blog, with this on the left:
BleepingComputer.com > Community Blog > hp 8055.it
and this on the right: Your Blog Settings Content Blocks Entries
with a calendar, Last entries, My Blog Links, and last comments boxes below.

I tried the Entries/Add link with each of these browsers:
Firefox 2.0.0.5 = Entries do not drop/down, click gives error 404
Internet Explorer 7 = Entries DO drop down, click gives 404
Netscape 9.0b2 = Entries drop down, click gives 404
Opera 9.22 = Entries drop down, click gives 404

In all browsers the 404 Error: Page not found! gave this URL:

OK, hang on.

We'll have an Admin check this out.

I am trying to set up my blog also, but get the same error message.
Perhaps I don't understand all the questions for set up.
Can someone help me,please?
I can't seem to actually type anything in there, but it appears I have something set up as honu1's blog.

Thank you
