 * Well, I want to try this WordPress.org thing out since it will give me plenty
   more freedom than the .com version does. My problem, however, is the fact that
   web hosts are simply too expensive to just jump in without knowing a whole lot
   yet. What I want to do is be able to set up a website that is on my computer,
   visible only to me, so I can practice editing and whatnot. I know you can do 
   this with html files, so php must be able to do this, too, right?

   follow these instructions exactly and you will have your local install (uses 
   MS XP as OS but works with Vista, also)

 * Thank you. I will try to remember to post again after seeing if it works or not.
