 * Hi guys I need some help understanding something. I recently just created a wordpress
   but I am hosting it on my PC. Now I thought everyone online would be able to 
   see me by my IP address? All that does though is take me to my router. I am trying
   to understand what my address to the world is? [http://localhost:31798](http://localhost:31798/)
   can’t be this right? It’s just the URL to my PC where I work off it.
 * So how would I find my real address?
 * Edit:: Learning I need to deploy to an actual host? So is there any way I can
   host wordpress on my PC? I don’t want to have to pay to host my wordpress but
   I want to do it from my own computer. I leave it running all the time so it wouldn’t
   be a problem. So how could I go about doing this?
