Hi Solarspin,

sorry I was wrong about the first issue: upgrade to Blog 03.05.01 to quickly fix it (this was a known issue that has been fixed into 03.05.01). The second issue may be due to an external service trying to consume an feed of an entry that has been deleted. Could you confirm this?

Best regards,
Dario Rossa

I am tying to set up a blog using 3.5.1 on DNN5. Apart from the wandering menu all seemed okay, however i then started getting

Error: is currently unavailable.
