 * My blog has been working fine until this morning when I went to it and I get 
   the “Error Establishing a Database Connection” message. I have no clue what is
   going on. It was working fine yesterday and I haven’t touched anything in the
   coding or anything anywhere. I need help! I need to get this thing up and running.
   I can’t even log in to the admin page. Someone please help! It seems like some
   questions just never get addressed here but I am a bit desperate as I need to
   access some information from a post I made a while back. Thanks!

 * if it’s true you did nothing then the database server is down or the database
   has been lost somehow.
    Look and see if you can connect to the db with phpmyadmin
   or contact your host

 * Verify that your info in the wp-config.php file is correct. If it is (as far 
   as you can tell), then contact your web host for help.
