WordPress Theme Cms: Installing MAMP and WordPress – part 1.. Next in the series is: Part 2: Creating a WordPress child theme for the theme Thematic www.youtube.com This is a tutorial for installing MAMP (Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP) and WordPress 3.1. My WordPress Playlist: www.youtube.com The reason for installing MAMP is that it gives the flexibility in installing on ones own computer a CMS software like WordPress. MAMP (or another much used XAMP for PC or Mac) software also helps you create a database for your CMS. One can also easily view the php pages through using this software. Installing a CMS locally one can design the web site and when it is ready upload the CMS and the files that belong to the site. I am creating tutorials along the way as I create the web site www.easywebdesigntutorials.com The site is a work in progress. Right now the site that is up has been created through Dreamweaver, but I am slowly recreating it through WordPress. The main reason I believe is because of the blog feature. Making it possible for people to add comments below my video and written tutorials. If someone has a easier/better solution to adding blogs/comments to a site created in Dreamweaver, let me know. This is the first of a series of tutorials on using WordPress with Thematic theme.
