    ~10 months ago I began using WordPress to host a website. I installed all of the necessary programs on my MACBook Air and got the website up and running. I now have a new MACBook Air and would like to use it as my primary computer for managing my site. How do I set it up? Do I have to reinstall all of the programs on the new computer (HB Themes, BlueHost, ASKimet, etc?

    I’m confused — is your site hosted on your Mac? Or on an internet based host?
    You mentioned Bluehost — so if that’s where your site is, no software other than a web browser needs to be on your Mac.

    Hi Steve… as a relative WP newbie I was equally confused 🙂 Your response was enough to make me rethink my issue. I simply used the URL from the old Mac to get to the WP dashboard on my new Mac. Issue resolved. Thanks.
