This is one of the best instructional videos, Tom. BIG THANK YOU and congrats on the format, simplicity, completeness, technical style and your presentation style.
If my search for moving my newly designed local blog to my live site comes up authored by you comes up empty…please, PLEASE create one. I’ve read instructions and viewed other videos but they’ve always left me scratching my head and bumbling through a few trial and error attempts before I stumbled into getting it right.
You are my new WordPress TV hero!

You may wish to try WordPress Portable, a portable WAMP stack with WordPress already preinstalled.

I followed this instructional video and it worked a treat. My only problem was finding how to crank up the new installation the next day!
Eventually I worked out that I had to click on the Wampserver program icon in Start/programs, and then the little icon appeared in the task bar, which eventually led me to my new database’s name and go-time.
I should have looked at the video again, because you cover this point at 6.26 onwards. More speed; less haste!
Thanks!
