    Hi,
    as recommended by you I unzipped the wordpress files and the only thing I get is a list of wordpress-files (wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes); clicking on one of htese just opens up a next list.
    Do I really HAVE to be an IT-specialist to load down a programme?
    I give it one more try with your help, otherwise I give up.

    Txs,
    Sibylle

    relax man
    may be you should download the newest version of wordpress then install it ones more.
    add extracted wordpress 3.3.1 (for example) to folder htdocs if your use xamp (for offline instalation). create the database in localhost/mysql “wordpress” and write localhost/wordpress.
    then it done. follow the instruction

    Do you intend to run WordPress locally?

    @ khamimn07: thanks for your trying to help but you speak a language that I don’t understand – where to find the htdocs folder, how to create a database, etc. You see? Your knowledge level is muuch higher than mine 🙂 Thanks for trying anyhow.

    @ esmi: define locally? I want to use it on one private laptop – does this ansser your question?

    Yes. You are not using a remote host, so you need to review installing WordPress locally.
