    hi i’m new to WP. I just installed WP on my computer to run locally before i get a host. i used microsoft webmatrix to install wp and the php server on my computer.
    does anyone know what i should do, so i can create and manage different WP sites?
    i read somewhere that i need to install WP every time i want to create a new blog/site. is this correct?
    has anyone done this using webmatrix?

    sorry if these are silly questions. i’m still learning.
    i’ve created a couple of blog’s on WP.com and now i want to start taking more control of what i do.
    thanks for any help
    cheers
    alex

    I take a pass on windows servers, be they local or not.

    Not if you’re using MultiSite, no. You install WP once, create a network, and then create sites via the network admin.

    well you’ve jumped in the deep end of the pool. 🙂 Multisite is a little more advanced than just a single install of WordPress, and the single host-it-yourself kind is more involved that what you’re used to being on wp.com.

    You may want to play around with just the one install first. THEN create a network.
