Thank you for this tutorial! It turned out really usefull to me (only I had problem finding the “Add New User” button, but luckily, I located it under “privilliges”.

I am a Wordpress Newbie, and have bookmarked your page in case anything as helpfull as this comes along.

Now that I have successfully installed Wordpress locally, more question come up.
Like: I not sure if (and how) I can integrate my own design as I am not willing to use any ready-made templates. Also, once I am satisfied with the results, how do I go around publishing my blog online? That’s not clear to me…
(now, don’t laugh, like I said I am Newbie, and I started reading about Wordpress just yesterday..)

Would you be so kind to give me some tips, or links for that matter regarding the issues? I’d appreciate that really.

Thanks in advance & all the best,
Mary

Hi Dave

What browser are you using? (Not that this should make a difference)

And, can you tell if the database tables are being created? You can take a look using the phpMyAdmin tool…

Hi James

I have followed exactly what you said we should do but my browser is stick after I click ‘Install Wordpress’. It just stays on that page and says its loading but never goes onto the page that shows the password etc. What am I doing wrong?

Just didn’t realise written on the same day

Its freaky how we both ended up writing on the same topic on the same day. What are the odds.

Interesting post, never thought about installing wordpress on my desptop. Makes it a whole lot easier to test plugins and themes.
