 * Hi,
    I bought a WordPress theme(Bookcase)and have been trying to use Wampserver
   to set the thing up before I go live. However I can’t find the Dashboard section.
   Please help if you can….i’m a complete newbee at this and just want to make a
   portfolio website with no blogging at all! H:)

 * To get your dashboard in Wamp you need go to [http://localhost/foldername/wp-admin](http://localhost/foldername/wp-admin)
 * Foldername is where you installed wordpress in httdocs
