    Hi,

    I want to be able to develop locally on localhost. I originally followed the setup instructions creating it for localhost which has worked with no problems by creating the default 'wordpress' folder as install told me to.

    How would i go about creating another instance or can you keep using the same install of 'wordpress'.

    So i have

    c:\xampp\worpress\wp-content etc etc

    I want to have c:\xampp\pbwebdesign\blog\wp-content etc etc

    How would i do this? Its just because i want to be testing implementing a blog into my existing website design and taking the wordpress posts/comments etc into my div container and having own original header and footer etc.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the link, im not sure if this is what im after, please correct me if im wrong and the guide covers it

    I have a website here > http://www.pbwebdesign-warrington.co.uk/ i want to keep this design BUT add the content area of the blog i have created > http://www.pbwebdesign-warrington.co.uk/blog into my original content area of my site and remove the styles of the header/footer and background of the blog theme.

    So the blog comments/categories etc will be embedded into my website http://www.pbwebdesign-warrington.co.uk/ and not using the blog template theme

    If you had your own design that you wanted to appear at /blog, instead of the current theme, you could follow the above guide to integrate WordPress with that design.
