I'm currently attempting to modify my blog to match the layout of the rest of my webpage. I can't seem to find a "Blog.php" file which holds the layout, and setting a template doesn't seem to fix the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

WordPress does not use a "blog.php" template file.
What Theme are you using?

I'm currently using a custom child theme built on ThemeShaper's Thematic framework. Whichever file determines the layout of semanticarts.com/archives/996 is what I'm after but after a considerable amount of digging, I can't seem to find it.

Ahh.
Trying to customize a framework-based Theme such as Thematic may not be the best place to start, as a beginner. I would recommend that you familiarize yourself with the WordPress template system by making a Child Theme of a more basic Theme, such as TwentyTen. Then, once you've got a solid grasp on how everything works, try to tackle a framework-based Theme.

I probably should have done that about 6 months ago but unfortunately I'm already knee deep in this framework. I wasn't using blog functionality until recently, I was treating wordpress as more of a CMS than blogging tool. I've got most of my other pages edited around the framework but am stuck on the blog layout portion. I may need to start from scratch but would prefer to avoid that if at all possible.

WordPress uses the "index.php" Theme template file to build the blog Posts index pages, and the "single.php" Theme template file to build the single blog Post page.
If you're using a static Page as your front page, you can also use the "home.php" template file for your blog Posts index page.
