Ever wonder how to install Wordpress locally on your Mac? Here's how.
*First Step* - Download and install
MAMP by dragging and dropping it into your Applications folder.
*Second Step* - Open up MAMP, and it should open ups a page on your web browser. It should look like
this. This page can be accessed by going to
http://localhost:8888/MAMP.
*Third Step* - You now have to create a database for your Wordpress installation. Look to the navigation bar in your MAMP homepage, and click on the link that says 'phpMyAdmin'. Where it says 'create new database' put in wordpress (or whatever you want to name it).

*Fourth Step* - Download the latest version of
Wordpress. Then, unzip the file and upload it to your htdocs folder.
Image
*Fifth Step* - Once you've uploaded the folder, go to
http://localhost:8888/wordpress (or whatever your named your folder, if you named your folder 'blog' it would be
http://localhost:8888/blog).
Image
*Sixth Step* - Once you reach the page where you have to input your database information, here is what you should put in.
Database name: wordpress (or whatever you've named it)
Database user: root
Database password: root

You can then leave the rest as they are.
Congratulations, you now have Wordpress installed locally on your computer! Have fun! :smile: In theory, you should be able to change these instructions a little to fit other blog systems, but don't take my word for it. The only other blog system I've tried this with is
Textpattern.
No, I'm not just advertising the company my dad works at, but I'm advertising it because I believe that
Mozes has a lot of potential. Well, I don't think they would get many hits from my blog, but it's worth a try.
Basically, Mozes is a sort of social networking website where you can communicate with your favorite artists through text message. You can receive updates from your favorite singer and even get exclusive content! If you're a fan, then you can simply just sign up with your cell phone number, and you can also sign
up if you're a band leader, or a student leader. I find the student leader section of the website pretty nifty because it's an easy way to send updates to your fellow peers if you're running a club or something like that. You can also even run an election through text message! For example, if your school was having a student body president election, you could vote for your favorite candidate through text message (standard carrier rates still apply).
Mozes has also 'signed' some pretty 'hot' bands/singers such as Rihanna, Tim McGraw, Fall Out Boy, Amy Winehouse, Chamillionare, Saving Jane... the list goes on and on. Thundered's color scheme was also inspired by Mozes. :roll: Also, if you do sign up, what do you think that they could add or improve on?
P.S. - As of 8:10PM there was an earthquake where I live. My entire house was shaking and all I worried about was the safety of my laptop. :wink: Turns out it was a 5.6 earthquake. The epicenter was somewhere in the South Bay of the Bay Area in California.
