    Okay, so I have installed MAMP and followed the wordpress instructions of how to install it for using wordpress on your computer. Then when I get to step four in http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_Locally_on_Your_Mac_With_MAMP it tells me to enter some stuff, I have a domain with godaddy but I don’t know how to finish the installation and anything about hosting.. All these different words have me confused and I just want to start building my site on textwrangler and uploading it to wordpress. Please can someone explain what the hell I need to do?! Sorry to anyone who thinks I sound stupid!

    Hey,

    If you are installing MAMP, then you do not need to do anything with your godaddy.com stuff. MAMP is for local development and the site will only be access from your computer.

    Once you moved all the WordPress files over to your MAMP system and also created your database for WordPress using PHPMyAdmin. You will need to go to localhost site in your browser. Should be something like localhost:8888/subdirectoryYouPutWordPressIn/wp-admin/install.php.

    You will be prompted that WordPress is going to create a wp-config.php file for you. You will need to supply the database name you created, username will be root, password will be root, and host will be localhost.

    Everything else, you can leave default. Like continue, let WordPress do its thing and you should be good to go.
