Your blog is working fine. You just need to fix the "blog" navigation link so that it links to the correct page.

Our Photo-Gallery Page is refusing to publish. It says it publishes, but when visiting the site--- PAGE NOT FOUND.
I have attempted to publish the page repeatedly for the past few hours, but keep having the same result. Page not found. Yet when I log into our site builder, the page is still there and constructed exactly as planned.

The issue is, you do not have a "Now Showing" page. You have a site error 404 page that you added your Now Showing page content to. This is what is causing that issue. I recommend adding a new page, actually naming that page "Now Showing", putting the Now Showing content on that page, and linking your menu to that correctly created page. Then, go fix your site error 404 page back to what it was by default.
This means you need to go into your builder, add a new page, name it "Now Showing", RECREATE your "Now Showing" Page on that new page. Make sure the link in the navigation menu is set to go to that new page. Then, go to the Site Error 404 page, delete the "Now Showing" content, and create a 404 error page for your website.
