Site Down with General Error: 2006 MySQL server has gone away

I recently got this error message while working on a Drupal 7.22 website. See screenshot.

Sometimes it's hard to find the sollution to this problem. The error message is so wordy and goes on for several lines. When searching Google for a solution, what search phrase do you use? Do you search for "Uncaught Exception in Shutdown Function" or "General Error: 2006 MySQL server has gone away"?

Here are some solutions to this problem.
1. Press F5 on your browser to refresh the screen. For some people, this simple step solved the problem.

2. Edit your my.ini configuration file to increase max allowed packet size.

Seascape Web Design is Now Seascape Web Interactive

Seascape Web Design is in the process of rebranding. What do you think of our new logo?
 
According to Wikipedia,
“Interaction design is about shaping digital things for people’s use.  It is also defined as the practice of      designing interactive digital products, systems, and services.”
 
Here at SeascapeWeb, we believe the word “interactive” more accurately describes what we love to do. Hence, the name change.
 
We will continue to provide top-notch web design and development services to business owners, entrepreneurs and non-profits. We look forward to working with you.
 
Sorry, we’re busy right now. We’re currently unavailable to take on any new work until June 1st.
