Rock!

Blue-Sky-Dream: if you could work offline with wp and sync it online :) We need working import/export for that, but it should be easy once that’s done.

Mmmmm, import/export. Soon!

My comment about putting WP on my USB stick has been on the testimonials page for ages. I think I used UniServer at the time.

The ‘web server on a stick’ software recommended looks good, but I highly recommend XAMPP. Besides stellar line up of pre-installed mod’s, I find the ability to have identical portable apache2/mysql5/php4+5 setups for linux and windoze awesome.

(no, I don’t have anything to do with the project, I just think they make a good product :)

Andrew - I like Xampp too. I only grabbed that one and used it because I ran across WOS while looking for another USB app. I also had NO idea that this would generate so much interest !

WHY? Anyone with an internet connection can be shown Wordpress that way, and anyone without an internet connection is (for obvious reasons) unlikely to be interested in seeing Wordpress.

I found a really good use for it - meeting notes via WordPress.

You can see my post about it over here -
