    Hey guys,

    I run http://www.lovejungle.com

    and It’s time for an upgrade of the site skin.

    It is my first time attempting such a task, and i’m wondering the best way to go about it?

    Is there a way to duplicate the site and view it online privately, without messing up the existing theme.

    or should I use dreamweaver and go offline?

    What is the best/most efficient way to write a new theme while leaving the existing theme in tact ?

    Many thanks!!

    There are a lot of tutorials online but start with the Codex to get a big picture of how it all fits together.

    One theme won’t mess up another (or shouldn’t unless you try very hard) but you will have to switch back and forth between the existing theme and the new one. You are better off setting up a local server. I hear that the XAMPP packages make this pretty easy though I’ve never set up a server that way.

    Go offline. Don’t use Dreamweaver.
