Maddie The Coonhound Project

Maddie The Coonhound Project

We love little projects, and even more when the subject is a cute dog like Maddie. She’s a very obedient coonhound that will pose for any picture and stand cool. Indeed, what a cool dog!

Also, Maddie is somewhat famous around the internet with the picture we used as the featured image of the post. It’s a great possibility that you may have already seen her. The project consists in photographs of Maddie traveling around all 50 American states during 365 days. You may even buy prints, which is pretty awesome. Check some of the pictures here, and visit the project site for more information! Also, if you got any nice pictures of dogs, share it with us! Cheers. 😉

How to host a WordPress blog on your computer

When I’m designing themes for WordPress, I find that working remotely can be a little troublesome at times; particularly when using stylesheet preprocessors such as LESS or SASS. I’ve been developing a number of WordPress themes recently, and to ease the load on my remote server, speed up the theme-building process, and receive an all-round smoother WordPress experience, I’ve found that working from a local installation gives me the edge.

So here’s my quick and easy way on how you can set your WordPress site to run from your home computer, too.

In this guide, you’ll learn the following:

  • How to set up your computer as a local server using MAMP;
  • configure your server to get it WordPress-ready;
  • install WordPress and host your blog from your local computer.

 Using this technique, you can set up a local WordPress site for your home network — perhaps a family blog, or personal diary. It’s also a great way to build and customise your themes quickly and efficiently whilst retaining the advantages of speed and flexibility that developing locally can provide.
