Blog on wordpress site

There is an error that has occured on my website tht I'm not sure how to fix.

Our website is run by wordpress, and until recently, everything was running smoothly in terms of the blog -- that is to say that all of our static pages were arranged properly, with the proper right hand side toolbar, and the blog page functioned like a regular wordpress blog, whose right hand side toolbar was that of a typical blog (archives etc).  

Unfortunately, something has has happened where my blog page is static (there are no permalinks to individual posts nor is there an option to leave a comment -- even though all checkboxes have been marked off allowing for comments). Additionally, the blog page no longer had the proper sidebar, instead displaying the sidebar for all of the static pages.  We've been playing around with it but it's just a blank page and won't populate content from our previous posts. How can I make this blog page functional again? (Website is AdvantEdgeBC.Com).


Thanks!!!

Make sure your settings in Settings>Reading, are set to front page displays blog, or if it is set to static that your post page settings are the page that should be your blog.
Everything seems to work except the Blog Page. It should be selected as: Settings>Reading: and choose the page to Blog from the drop-down list.

I did...that's what's so odd...see screenshot User generated image
If you go to the blog page in the WP-Admin panel and choose the page that is "Blog", then click on view page, what is the URL that is displayed?

The only other thing I can think of is:
Maybe you have selected a page template that is specified by the theme to display a static page (the loop for a static page). Try switching the page template for Blog and see what happens.

What is displaying the Blog in the widget?
Is it a Pages widget, a text Widget, or something else?

Sara,

By any chance did you upgrade to WP 3.05 recently?
I was going to but have not yet...
I'm pretty sure it's a mistake in the php files...too much to wrap my head around!!
OK Sarah, I have one question and one request:

Question:
What happens if you click the view page button in your 3rd page?

Request:
Can you post your page.php, and your index.php files code here?
