For those of you who get a database error, I think it is the huge amount of traffic I'm getting at the moment which causes this (>1000 visits last hour). I'm using shared hosting, which might have problems with this, so in one way, you are DDOSing my site ;-). I don't know if it is safe to tell you to just wait and reload the page, but do that, BUT NOT TOO FAST!

Are you using any caching module, e.g. Hyper Cache for WP? If not, you should give it a try.
I started using one just recently. I'm not a web developer and I just installed WordPress less than a month ago. Apparently, PHP scripts are heavy to execute :S

It seems to work better now.
