Warning
Unable to connect publishing blob caching. Web.Config is not set up correctly. Cache is not valid. WebId is '1303494830', Url is 'http://vmmossdev:8088/_themes/myTheme/viewheadergrad_mt.gif'.

You may see the above warning in your event log, if the "BlobCache" configsection is declared without been defined... well I did, and I google and could find a single valid explanation.

The Fix: Just add a node in the node like...



<BlobCache location="C:\blobCache" path="\.(gif|jpg|png|css|js)$" maxSize="10" enabled="false" />

The maximum string content length quota (819200) has been exceeded while reading XML data...




The Fix: Go to> Programs(x86)\Microsoft SharePoint Developer Tools 9.0\ssg 1.3\SPSolGen.exe.config

Multiply all the max values by 4 eg: maxStringContentLength="32768" ,maxArrayLength="65536", maxBytesPerRead="16384", maxNameTableCharCount="65536"
