 * I’ve dumped [XAMPP](http://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-en.html) on my XP Home
   laptop for testing/hacking/etc. It’s a preconfigured Apache/PHP/MySQL install,
   you just unpack it and execute the mysql and httpd batch files.
    It’s probably
   not very robust, but it’s an amazingly fast way to get a working development 
   environment on an XP system.

 * Ahhh… after reading [http://wordpress.org/support/3/3264](http://wordpress.org/support/3/3264),
   I realize that there are multiple definitions of sidebar. And I reread Techgnome’s
   post in this light, and it makes more sense to me now. These instructions will
   put a miniblog in the BROWSER sidebar. D’oh!
    What I am actually trying to do
   is add a sidebar blog as a column along my main blog in index.php. Something (
   technically) along the lines of the “Guest Blog” at [boingboing](http://www.boingboing.net).
   Apologies to anyone else I confused in my dazed state. 🙂
