I am very new to DNN so please pardon any stupid questions.  I set up a site with DNN version 5 site, using a free skin and a installed the Weblog module.  The module installed properly but I get this error when I add it to the page

A critical error has occurred.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
 

Here is the URL if you want to see if for yourself.

http://www.talktextiles.com/nuke/Default.aspx?tabid=58&error=Object+reference+not+set+to+an+instance+of+an+object.&content=0

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

I have the same message that you have. The problem seems to be related to the SolPartMenu Navigation Provider in that the Blog module is not linking to it (or improperly registered with it, etc.)

Anyone else has this problem?

Found the problem:

 

After upgrading to DNN5, be sure to include the ProviderName attribute into the dnn:ACTION control of your containers:
<dnn:ACTIONSrunat="server"ID="dnnACTIONS"ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider"/>

and the exception should not arise anymore.

From here.

Worked for me.
