 * I am having trouble making new posts and with overall slowness of my site. Another
   site hosted is fine. The error I receive when it does finally load is “Error 
   establishing a database connection”. Any ideas as to how to resolve it? Nothing
   is loading in the control panel and the site in general is really slow to load
   if it loads at all.

 * That means simply that WordPress cannot communicate with the database.
 * Make sure that your connection details in `wp-config.php` are correct. If they
   are, contact your hosting provider to ask why your database keeps going offline.
