When in doubt, ask the Internet. I found this video on YouTube. Don't be put off by the accent - there is an error in the book and he gave me the right answer. I now have my WordPress set up locally on my laptop! The video is pretty clear, but we are going to … Continue reading Success!!

Like my Facebook Page?
I've added another step on my journey to creating a web presence that will allow me to reach people and offer them my services. I've made a Facebook page for my blog.
