 * Had been suffering from the “MySQL Database gone away” error for about a month.
 * From what I could discern from investigating, it was taking to long to post and
   the database was timing out.
 * Finally, I disabled my plugins, one by one to see what was causing the slow down
   and found that “Global Translator Plugin” was the culprit. See here: [http://www.nothing2hide.net/wp-plugins/wordpress-global-translator-plugin/](http://www.nothing2hide.net/wp-plugins/wordpress-global-translator-plugin/)
 * Don’t get me wrong, I love this plug in, but is definitely the cause of this 
   error, at least for me.
