    Hi guys. Have just developed my own website http://www.exploitation.org.uk and want to add a blog to my site. Have installed wordpress on my server etc and would now like to create my own customisable layout to suit the rest of my website. Is this easy to do.... where do I go to edit files xhtml, css etc. Have got a good understanding of xhtml, css etc any advice about changing layout, styling, tips etc would be most appreciated..

    Or set up a test installation in a folder on your website.
    Lot easier than local.

    XAMPP (sorry for my typo) is a programme that installs Apache, php, and mysql plus phpmyadmin in one go on your own computer. There is a version MAMPP for Mac and Linux LAMPP.

    Once set up you can do everything you can do on your web host. Do a google and check it out. Its what we all use.
