Thanks George, So if I have understood the situation right, then I have two choices. (1) Use wordpress with a connection to the live host and use it to test and develop. (2) Use wordpress with a connection to a local environment (server) such as my mac mini. I say mac mini, because I don’t want to screw with the settings on my imac, so i will make it my server and then simulate ftp etc…
I must say that one can get really confused after reading some of the forums in here. But if I understand it correctly, then all I need is an active server, before I install wordpress, becuase it is going to ask me for the settings of the server.
I have read other forums, where they wish to use a standard mac server setup, but then they will need to install things and screw with settings on the wordpress side to get it to work, so i will choose the path of least resistance… hopefully…
Dean
