I recently upgraded from Umbraco 3.5 to 4 and am again lost on how to make my blog posts display on the home page.

I borrowed the XSLT below from another user on these forums. I confirmed the Macro was created. I am not sure what data source I need to add to make the blogs work. I created a document type called newsSource because that is what I used with my old Umbraco installs and bound it to the "news" section of my site (the blog install). I am sure there is somthing simple below that I am missing in one of the select's, but I don't know what it is.

My page renders "Latest blog posts" and that is all, so the macro is running (which is progress for me).

Any help would be much appreciated!
