Whenever I or anyone else tries to get to my blog by clicking on the link from my homepage (page is http://www.kemstone.com, link says "Kemstone's Online Journal") it usually just goes to a blank page. Sometimes it loads just by clicking "refresh" but sometimes you have to go back to the homepage and click on the link again, then click refresh a number of times. It always eventually loads, but not without persistence, and most people won't be persistent enough to keep trying.
I'm using the iNove 1.1.4 theme on the latest version of WordPress.
I had this problem a while ago with a cheap hosting company which I eventually left in part because of this. I did manage a fix though until other things started annoying me.
In the wp-config.php file where you state the database location I had got an address to the database in there as it was not local e.g.
sql.somedomain.com
instead i changed this to the specific IP address of the database location rather than the domain e.g.
123.456.7.89
I think this was a problem with the hosting companies DNS messing up. Once I had done this it worked far more reliably and didn't suffer the symptoms that you are describing.

Are you saying the problem might be with my hosting company (Yahoo) rather than WordPress?
I opened the wp-config.php file but I found nowhere to state the database location. Even ran a search for the word "location" but it wasn't in the file.
