Trapping “database down” condition

    Hello, all,

    I’m new to WordPress so forgive me if this question’s been answered elsewhere. I want to put a WP blog on my website, at mysite/blog. On my homepage I want to expose the three most recent blog entries among a bunch of other content. So I copy/pasted some Loop code in. So far, so good.

    Problem is, when the database is down it causes the entire homepage to die spectacularly. I’d like to trap this condition and have it carry on, maybe just rendering a nice message in the blog portion of the page.

    Any suggestions? In advance, thanks.

    –Ray
