…with MAMP explained!

Thanks so much!

Thanks again, and…do you have a link quickly at hand for a similar tutorial for a Mac?

I’m using a MacBook Pro with Mavericks.

Thanks so much for your speedy reply!

Although I’m at the outer limits of my web lingo, this does make sense, except for the MAMP or XAMPP in “a local installation (like MAMP or XAMPP) on your desktop.”

Are you referring to downloading the actual WordPress software to my desktop, fooling with the files there, then uploading the files to my web host’s webserver?
