 * I have $base defined as blog_demo, yet for some commands WP is defining it as
   simply “demo” and (obviously) not finding the database. It’s giving me errors
   like this:
    Database error: [Table ‘demo.wp_comments’ doesn’t exist] SELECT *
   FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_post_ID = ‘3’ AND comment_approved = ‘1’ ORDER
   BY comment_date The weird part is that it only does this for some things — for
   other commands (like, for example, displaying posts), it gets the database just
   right.
