 * This may come as a surprise ..
    I have successfully installed WAMP, WordPress,
   and even downloaded and installed BuddyPress yasterday. Spent several hours in
   my development environment, getting familiar with configuration and menu’s. All
   this followed the install and initialization of WAMP.
 * Okay, day 2. I want to go back. I can boot WAMP, but have NO IDEA how to load
   WordPress project, my dashboard.
    -  I Know
 *  this has to super simple, but not obvious for this beginner. I have surfed all
   over the place and only find tutorials on installing ..
    -  no
 *  references or tutorials on using it once installed. Funny!
 * Anyhow, can anyone suggest an absolute beginner’s tutorial _using WAMP and local
   WordPress install_? I can load WAMP, but i have no guidance on it’s features.
   I load ‘my project’, and my site is there .. but it takes me online, here: [http://www.mysite.com/](http://www.mysite.com/)
   I just want to pull up my localsite,in WordPress, get to the dashboard, etc
