Thanks :) Since it says "Error establishing a database connection", I wonder if someone misused the password of their database?

Naw, that's what happens when WordPress is overtaxed.

Yeah-- I was not expecting this kind of traffic- I am reizing.... the box, hopefully this resolves the issue very soon.

I think scarecrowbob is right, but it would be very ironic if his site's DB pass was compromised ;)

It should be back now- that took much longer than I expected.

I figured it out. The caching method cached the error page instead of the legitimate page. ><

Sorry about that.

It's very weird. It looks good to me, but I do see half of the hits are coming in from a cached version. I'll have to prepare better if I'm to post another article and not melt down.
