When you start getting serious about building WordPress websites, you'll want to start developing on your own computer. It's a lot faster, you can do it offline (at the beach like the promo shots for those \"lifestyle gurus\"), and you don't have to worry about making mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you proceed with the import from inside the WordPress installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let's go through the first three steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The number of times I've forgotten this step...<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have to make sure XAMPP Control is open (it can be minimized) and Apache is running.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to install WordPress in XAMPP from scratch<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
