 * has anyone with programming skills thought about making a stand-alone version
   of wordpress? something like dreamwearver where you can view the code alone, 
   have a live preview or a mix? i just thought that it would be useful for people
   to write their posts without being online and still have the code all right for
   those who aren’t all that good at that….lol…did that make sense? i also thought
   that it’d be cool if it could connect and post for you too… just an idea

 * Most people run a local version of Apache, MySQL and WP on top it for making 
   theme modifications without affecting their main site.
 * Additionally, the same people usually also run testblogs on their webhosts to
   see their work in action before finally deploying it on their main sites.
 * There are more than enough offline blogging tools, W.Bloggar, ECTO, Zempft, Performance
   comes to mind that handle all the blogging functionailty.
 * So what’s the value add in taking a PHP based application stand-alone?

 * i just thought that it would be a nice tool for people who don’t know how to 
   run apache, mysql and wp locally. just a simple program that you can do all the
   things in wp. it would just make it easy for new people who don’t know the codes
   or syntax. i’m not new, but i’m no expert neither and even i would like and use
   something like that. something that is very visual where you can drag and drop
   things, where when you want to insert an image you can see the image right there
   as you write and you can add all the classes you want, etc…

 * I don’t know either… I just installed XAMPP – and it does everything for me without
   knowing what’s going on in the back stage 😉

 * yeah… i was just thinking of the convenience factor… something that does all 
   that (maybe even with a FTP feature in it) would/could only help to get the wp
   name out there…lol

 * If WP would do all that for the “convenience factor” – it would be a MS product
   😉
    (and I’d stop offering any help around here)
