Developing with Wordpress

[1kiwi]

Dear Workpress Gurus,

Thinking about starting up a simple wordpress blog after reading this guide. It suggests that you simple download wordpress, upload to your hosting company and configure the DB. I guess my question is, do you normally run a local version of wordpress and then somehow propagate the changes to the live site via FTP?

Thanks guys. What I was talking about is the way is which you develop your own websites, from a local dev install to your live site.

Found this really nice post: http://www.webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/exporting-and-importing-wordpress/

I have everything up and running now. Just a matter of customising the theme I guess and install the right plugins!
