How do I coordindate local and server WordPress sites?

    I’m coming from Dreamweaver and yes, even raw html file editing, so by far the most natural workflow for me is to do all the real work with a website on my local PC and then when satisfied, upload the files comprising the site to a live hosting server with LAMP.

    Is that even possible with WordPress? I see that it is possible to install a WordPress site locally on Windows 7, but there is little if any mention of how to transfer a local installation to a live server. Is that difficult? Maybe I’m being really old-fashioned here, but why does nobody seem to actually work that way with WordPress?

    The process is the same — you edit your files locally, test them, and if you’re happy with them, you can upload them to your server.

    It’s not really a WordPress-specific issue to keep your local and live site in sync; it’s more a general workflow issue (regardless of what platform you use).

    What you might want to look into in though, is this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
    It basically talks about moving the entire site from one server to another, so if you consider your local environment a server, maybe that link will help you a little.
