 * When anyone clicks on the Facebook share button for my most recent post, the 
   Sharing dialogue box opens but where you would expect to find the thumbnail and
   the post excerpt, it says “Database Error”.
 * It’s only for this post and it happens on multi- and single-post pages. The post
   slug seems correct. All of the other share buttons are working perfectly.
 * The post in question can be found here: [http://blog.slidesource.com/every-slide-counts/](http://blog.slidesource.com/every-slide-counts/)
 * Thanks for your help.

 * It seems that when Facebook first accessed your site to grab the necessary information
   to build a post preview, your site was down. Facebook consequently only grabbed
   the error message:

 * I’ve asked Facebook to crawl your post once again thanks to Facebook’s debugger(
   linked above), and this time, since your site is up, Facebook found all the info
   to build a proper post preview:
    [http://i.wpne.ws/YitZ](http://i.wpne.ws/YitZ)
 * If that happens again with other posts, I’d suggest using Facebook Debugger once
   again to refresh the information stored by Facebook about that post.
 * I hope this helps.
