I Hate It When...

...I see error messages like this come up on my screen. I especially get all wound up when it is one of my favoite blogs that I cannot visit. So - Hey Greybeard - if you are unaware, I think maybe your site is down - I don't get this when I vist any other blog.

Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password
information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at
mysql01.powweb.com. This could mean your host's database server is down.

Are you sure you have the correct username and password?

Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?

If you're unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress

All the best,
