Excellent video! I have one question for you. If I want to work on two different “sits'” how do I do that? A new databas or do I need to install a new version with wordpress or maybe even bye mamp pro? Johan

Ty everything works fine now! But one more question to you! When I switch between the different “sites” I have created I have to go out to Mamp/Preferences/apache and then select that wordpressinstallation (site) I want to work with. This is what I do and its works fine, but it feels like its not the fastest way todo it. Or is it just how we have to do it? Is this the way you do it? Johan Ps What do you think about the “serverpress.com”, is interesting for is it too new? Johan
