In a similar way you can choose your preferred text editor if you don’t want use the default Notepad application.
When you’re done, launch the application … and don’t panic! You might see a black screen for for a second – which will disappear automatically -, but nothing else …
As I said, don’t panic! The application is functional and is there, running in the background. Check out the new green icon in your Windows taskbar and you’ll see it.
Click the green icon and select “phpMyAdmin”:
OK. Now that you’ve installed WAMP on your computer, we can move forward to install WordPress on WAMP.
phpMyAdmin is a web based application used to manage MySQL databases and will help you to create a blank MySQL database WordPress can use. The phpMyAdmin login screen will open in a new browser window. By default, the username will be “root”, and you need to leave the password field blank:
Once you’re in, select “Databases” in the top left corner in order to access the page where you can create a new database for WordPress. Just choose the desired name and click on the “Create” button:
The new MySQL database will be created instantly:

... something that i asked about and discussed in one of my early salad WA blog days here -- when are 'we live' on the net?! ...
.. yes, agree & quite correct, we need to have practice runs on a 'dummy site' -- that is part of learning & practice makes perfect...
... Jay mentions this occasionally in some of his trainings as well -- 'sandbox' he calls it, however, it's on a siterubix, i think and that is still 'live' isn't it? ..
... anyway, your training here is mind-boggling for me -- would you like to come over and install in it -- i work on Windows 10 and that drives me crazy! ..
... frankly, Windows XP was the best platform ever -- too bad they stopped supporting it ... so my wee rant for the day! ...
... thanks kindly for developing & sharing this training today,
... all the best, cheerio ... 😊
And of course, thanks for that star :)
Yes, the siterubix sandbox is live. Many people has a live test site, but that's not a really good idea, beacuse usually is connected to the very same hosting account, which means that things could go wrong on host level.
Just drop me an address and I'll take a flight ASAP :))
Meantime you could try the good old DIY method :(
Trust me, it's really not that complicated.
Thanks for stepping by :)
BTW I'm still [BLUSHING]
... and by the way, once we've built on our off-line WordPress -- how do we transfer it to on-line? ...
... the answer to this can come later ... just thought of it now ...
enjoy a beautiful, magical day! ... cheerio... 😊
And that's my next tutorial.

Have a nice day Keisha!
