Moving WordPress

    It’s taken me ages today to fix a move of WordPress from my live site to my local host development site. Xampp installed beautifully; WordPress loaded like a charm; my database imported fine.

One minute I’m posting regularly and with great content and bam!! I forget and good intentions don’t fill a blog. Before I know it, there are tumbleweeds all over my website! I’ve tried using a range of content feeds and other tools but there’s nothing like your own original content that speaks about you and your interests that resonates with your audience.
