RAPID PUBLISHING ARTICLES PROVIDE INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM WITHIN THE MICROSOFT SUPPORT ORGANIZATION. THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS CREATED IN RESPONSE TO EMERGING OR UNIQUE TOPICS, OR IS INTENDED SUPPLEMENT OTHER KNOWLEDGE BASE INFORMATION.

The "Private" and "Public" view URL for blog is different in an installation of SharePoint with English and additional language packs. For example, with English as the base install language and German Language Pack added, the URL’s are as follows :

Mysite (Private): link behind "Willkommen im Blog!" is http://ServerName/personal/administrator/Blog/Lists/Beitraege/Post.aspx?ID=1 (http://ServerName/personal/administrator/Blog/Lists/Beitraege/Post.aspx?ID=1)

Mysite (Profile): link behind "Willkommen im Blog!" is http://ServerName/personal/administrator/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=1 (http://ServerName/personal/administrator/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=1)

The difference is the name of the List within the MySite which does not get correctly set and is linked to the blog.xsl which assists in the transformation from one language to other.

To resolve this issue there is the need to make changes to the BLOG.XSL. The BLOG.XSL is normally located in <Drive:>\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATES\Site Templates\SPSMSITEHOST folder.

Rename the existing blog.xsl located at <Drive:>\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATES\Site Templates\SPSMSITEHOST.

Create a new blog.xsl with the following content:
