That sample seems to be based on an older version of XML Schema, see:

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"

while the current version defines http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema as 
the XML Schema namespace.

You probably want something along the lines:

base.xsd:
=========
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
targetNamespace="http://limpens.com/blogbase"
     xmlns="http://limpens.com/blogbase" elementFormDefault="qualified">
     <xs:element name="BlogInfo">
         <xs:complexType>
             <xs:sequence>
                 <xs:element name="BlogTitle" type="xs:string"/>
                 <xs:element name="BlogDescription" type="xs:string"/>
                 <xs:element ref="Entry" minOccurs="0" 
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
             </xs:sequence>
             <xs:attribute name="lang" type="xs:language"/>
         </xs:complexType>
     </xs:element>
     <xs:complexType name="EntryType">
         <xs:sequence>
             <xs:element name="Title"/>
             <xs:element name="Body">
                 <xs:complexType>
                     <xs:sequence>
                         <xs:element name="Para" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
                     </xs:sequence>
                 </xs:complexType>

     <xs:element name="Blog">
