If you're going to be building websites for yourself or as part of a community, WordPress for Mac is an excellent option. The software is free to download, and the tutorials that come with it make it easy to set up a WordPress blog on your Mac computer. However, if you plan to use WordPress for business purposes, there are a few things that you should know. Because WordPress is free software, it's also free to implement in sites with commercial themes. To use the commercial themes, you have to pay.
To set up WordPress for Mac, the first thing you'll need to do is download the latest version, which is 3.0. You can download this from the official website, or get it through a Phing download. Next, download and install XAMPP. Finally, install WordPress locally for Mac.
Once you've installed xampp through a Phing download, the next step is to go to the official WordPress site and register as a member. Just login and read the instructions on registering your blog. When you're done, login to your WordPress web server and install the latest version of WordPress, then run the installation wizard. That's all there is to installing WordPress for Mac, the same way it's done for installing WordPress locally.
