 * Hi
 * I have what may seem like a silly question, but I am new to WP and databases.
   I installed WP fine and have it working fine using localhost. My question is 
   this: I am creating links and doing all the design locally, but when I want to
   put it online, what exactly do I have to do? Can I simply upload the files or
   do I have to re-create the database tables and re-create all the posts?
 * Thanks
 * Rob

 * I think this is just a case of moving from one server to another with different
   domain names. The codex has some great tutorials on that.
