After being asked a few times how I test WP themes without needing to constantly upload files to a web server running PHP/MySQL, a few people are turned off when I tell them I have a local install of WordPress. The befuddled looks usually indicate that I’m speaking another language and I lost them somewhere around the word server. Luckily, there’s a nice concise tutorial that steps you through the local WordPress installation process. (It’s pretty easy. Really.)
