 * I made a post about two days ago and everything was perfectly fine with it. However,
   today, I just looked at my site to see this:
    [http://students.washington.edu/edpham/weblog/](http://students.washington.edu/edpham/weblog/)
   Database error: [Got error 28 from table handler] SELECT DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts
   WHERE 1=1 AND post_date_gmt <= ‘2004-09-23 05:29:59’ AND (post_status = “publish”)
   GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 5 I have no idea what that
   means. The posts are there, but it seems like it’s not able to connect to the
   table where the posts are. Anyone know how to fix that?

 * Okay… Although never mind now. For some weird reason, everything went back to
   normal after I posted this. >_<
