YES!!!!! Thank you so much!!

Can you let me know what you did so I can learn this stuff and not make the same mistake in the future?!
The primary mistake was this -
Code: Select all
<cms:embed 'blog_list.php' />

The code above is syntactically correct and it is embedding a template named 'blog_list.php' that resides within the 'couch/snippets' folder.
When I looked at your site I found that that the 'blog_list.php' was in fact residing in the same folder as the calling 'blog.php'.
This is the reason why you were getting the blank page - there was no 'blog_list.php' within 'snippets' folder to get embedded.
I moved the template to its correct location and the blank page disappeared.

Rest were only minor issues -
1. Changed the following code
Code: Select all
<?php include("Library/nav.php"); ?>

to
Code: Select all
<cms:embed 'nav.php' />

and moved the 'nav.php' from the 'Library' folder to the 'couch/snippets' folder.

2. Similarly changed the following line
Code: Select all
<cms:php> include 'blog_sidebar.html'; </cms:php>

to (as you can guess now)
Code: Select all
<cms:embed 'blog_sidebar.html' />

and moved the 'blog_sidebar.html' to the 'couch/snippets' folder.

The overall modified 'blog.php' now becomes -

Code: Select all
<?php require_once( 'couch/cms.php' ); ?>
<cms:template title='Blog' clonable='1' commentable='1'>
   <cms:editable name='blog_content' type='richtext' />
   
    <cms:editable name='blog_image'
       crop='1'
        width='450'
        height='150'
        type='image'
   />
   
    <cms:folder name="svtap" title="SV Trails & Pathways" />
    <cms:folder name="trails" title="Trails" />
    <cms:folder name="events" title="Events" />

</cms:template>

<?php COUCH::invoke(); ?>

It seems that you were having some trouble in using the 'embed' tag correctly.
Hope the rectified template will make its usage a bit clearer.
Thanks.
