I had a momentary heart attack today when all of the links to my blog posts from my default.aspx home page were linking to the main site level of the blog.
After resetting the blog to the site definition and noticing the problem still existed, I came across this article which helped me figure out the problem. The Blog Tools web part on my page was throwing an error (for some reason), and apparently when that web part isn't on your page and functioning correctly, none of the links work.
Strange, but at least it's fixed. Heart attack prevented.

Making the SharePoint blog full width
The situation: I have a team site template with the publishing feature activated. It has a custom design, which includes master page & page layouts. It has to include a blog.
The problem: After creating the blog, I realized that the content of the page only goes about two-thirds of the way across, with no way to update that while editing the page.
The solution: After a little poking around, I found the three styles that had to be updated to extend the blog posts to expand the full width of the page.
I added the following styles to my COREV15.css:
.ms-blog-MainArea {max-width:none;}
.ms-blog-postList {max-width:none;}
.ms-blog-MainArea>tbody>tr>td{width:100%;}
The two max-width styles were already listed, with a setting of 860px and 670px, respectively. I found those and replaced them with none instead of adding a second style.
I'm sure there are different and possibly better ways to do this, but it took care of what I needed. The end result:
