Ok.  Your blog script is "blog".  So all your pyblosxom urls are off of 
that.  When you don't have "blog" in the url, Apache tries to look for 
directories like "gnome.org" in your web root instead of passing it to 
pyblosxom.  (Mildly terribly worded explanation, but my mind is still 
foggy this morning.)

Right, anyhow, what you need to do is add "blog" to the end of the 
base_url variable in your config.py file.

So you probably have something like this in your config.py file:

    py["base_url"] = "http://www.gnome.org/~calum/"

change it to:

    py["base_url"] = "http://www.gnome.org/~calum/blog/"

You won't have to change the story.html files at all.  After changing the 
config.py file, your title links should end up as:

    http://www.gnome.org/~calum/blog/gnome.org/2004-12/2004-12-01@1200

And if you go to that url, it brings up "Blast from the Past".

Hope that helps--
