Listener Feedback

Ken Jensen ThePrepperPodcast.com has two questions which I answer on the show.

Randy Wilburn

I was wondering what program you recommend to create and test WP sites before you put them online? I was using MAMP and I was wondering if you have a preference and whether you’ve done a tutorial on working on your own server with WP before you upload it and make it live. I know how to create sites in MAMP but the problem I run into is not properly transferring the site DB to the live location. Any thoughts?
