sounds like there's something up with the query, perhaps the wrong table
name.
as a debugging method I usually use the die() clause when performing a query
so I can ensure the query is correct.
try using this:
$qResult = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM blog_entries ORDER BY id DESC") or
die("could not run the query: " . mysql_error());
chances are there is not a "blog_entries" table or an "id" field in the
database you're connecting to.
hope that helps,
brian
