I did the zipped install to c:/xampp
Stared up Apache, MySql, and Mercury entered 127.0.0.1 in my browse got in everything running, Selected Security and did everything listed to secure XAMPP, MySQL, PhpMyAdmin, and Mecury Mail. I left PHP as is.

The following steps I've either picked up at the sites I'll list at the end, or figured out myself during my last install. After making a change to each file stop and start your services, so you can find any typo's or errors file by file. If you want until the end you'll have to recheck everything.

Although it is blowing in with gusto and about 8" of snow, I am happy to see the last of January. January was a month of feeling like I was slugging through the slush. Weather was odd, and I never quite felt that I was on top of things, but more that I was always rushing to catch up. I lost my beloved computer, and now have a new one. I'll have to wait and see how our relationship progresses. Vista has been giving me a time of it.

It's taken me forever to find this so I thought I'd share.
Want to just delete, and not have to deal with the popup window in OOo? Just hit the Backspace key.
Much quicker!

Well I went to Tiger Direct because the quickest way I could get back into business would be to replace my motherboard. They didn't have anything I could use, so I figured out how much it would cost to build a new system, and ended up at close to 500. Circuit City had an acer on sale for 569, that actually had a faster processor and more ram then I could have built as Tiger Direct was out of what I really wanted so I elected to go with the new computer. The negative is I have Vista and I really didn't want that. Live, learn, and grow.

Well I've had some really busy months to get to this place, but I'm ready to re-launch www.tarotweaving.com. I'm going to be using Drupal, so I want to get a test environment setup 1st so I know what I want how it works and all that stuff. If your interested in how to do that you can check out my blog at http://webweaver64.wordpress.com/ I give a step by step.

So give it a few hours and you should see something at www.tarotweavng.com, if you do check it out, make sure to let me know your thoughts!
