Just when you know something is going to harder than a grave digger’s heart, it turns out to be super easy.

I installed WordPress on my local machine easier than on my website. Mainly because I didn’t have to upgrade it after the install.

I remembered way back when I had a nifty program called xampp installed on my old WindowsMe machine. It wasn’t so happy there so I didn’t use it much.

Well Xampp is still alive and kicking and better than ever. I downloaded and installed it into an empty directory I never got around to turning into a swap file.

Then, I found this great tutorial about how to set up WordPress on your local machine. Walla, working, wonderful!

Just one problem. Is blogging on your own machine kinda’ like talking to yourself? My kids give me enough crap about that already!
