This is so helpful. Thank you. I’m a newbie to it, so it is all very confusing! I have created a wordpress.com website but now I am looking to go to wordpress.org for different reasons. To create or transfer this I would now need to move to something like a blue host to have a home for my website? I found a lot of difficulty downloading wordpress.org and that’s why I had turned to MAMP.
After a long struggle I downloaded wordpress using MAMP but now whenever MAMP isn’t up and running I cannot access my wordpress blog to edit, MAMP also says the demo will be running out, how do I keep my site up and running? I think I am just confused as to how wordpress.org is even run through MAMP, feel like there has to be an easier way. Thanks in advance!!
