 * A few days ago, my blog stopped connecting to the database, after running normally
   for many months. I’ve looked at the database, and it appears that there is a 
   set of duplicate tables, one that contains all my data and one that doesn’t. 
   For instance, it contains these two tables:
 * wp_users
    wp_myblognameusers
 * Where wp_users has no records and wp_myblognameusers contains all my data. Did
   my host somehow cause these duplicates, or is this normal? I just can’t seem 
   to figure out why there isn’t a connection (all info in my config file is correct).

 * ‘users’ is the table holding your WordPress users. ‘wp_’ is the table prefix 
   as is defined by the $table_prefix variable in your wp-config.php.
 * So at one time guessing you had $table_prefix = ‘wp_myblogname’ and now you have
   $table_prefix = ‘wp_’
