It is a free theme developed by Tyler Moore and others here have been discussing it before. Site is still in dev and I have not used WordPress or css before so very new. Site is [http://tinyurl.com/kcl-gmm](http://tinyurl.com/kcl-gmm). I just think if the header was larger it would be more balanced. Loving WordPress though and put this up very quickly. I’ve just removed the downloads links as not available yet.

I have just yum remove wordpress and re-edited the config files but I am still getting the same error which is getting to be very annoying.

I checked I could login as the user on the mysql command line with no problem. Now I think it is a mysql problem but not sure where or how to debug. I do not have any anonymous users in mysql user tables – any thoughts?
