 * Hi There,
 * I was wondering if it is possible to set up a development area such as
    ** dev.
   mydomainname.com**
 * and a live url such as** mydomainname.com**
 * with having both of these wordpress using the same database/content.
 * My purpose of the “DEV” area is for testing purposes such as updating the theme
   or templates and making sure the pages look good before pushing it live.
 * Thanks!
