    hi guys,

    Let me begin by saying I’m completely new to this! I’ve used wordpress, but only ever online. I’ve been following the instructions, and have successfully set up my local server with MAMP. However, I’m not quite sure how to proceed form here! Also, the main reason I went down this rabbit hole, was so I could work offline and upload my posts, plus work on my blog’s design etc.

    1) How do I transfer my existing blog to the local server? I did some searching around and I only found out how to “import” my blog back up unto the wordpress server. =S

    2) If I download my blog, then modify it then upload it, what will happen? 0.0 I’m really not quite sure! From what I can see, I could build a new blog and upload it. What if I wanted to keep my old existing one?

    Thats all the questions I have for now. I’ll probably find more stuff to be confused about later. =S

    thanks lots!
