I have loaded DNN 4.3.1 on my website, and all is well except the Blog module.  I can load it to a page, but when I view the page I receive an error message.  The message seems to indicate a SQL connectivity problem; however, no other modules are having problems.  I performed an installation on another machine, with the same result.

The error message appears below.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.....

Apparently not....  I had the first configured properly, but the second still default (and wrong).  Quick fix worked fine.  Thanks for the tip......
