Image
By Soni Daniel, Regional Editor, North and Chris Ochai A buja —  Four weeks after the Nyanya bomb blast that claimed 74 lives and injured many others, the identities of the masterminds of the blast were made public by the Department of State Services, DSS, yesterday. Parading the suspects at its headquarters in Abuja, DSS Deputy Director of Public Relations, Marilyn Ogar, announced that the bombing was masterminded by one Rufai Abubakar Tsiga, described as a  Boko Haram  leader and assisted by one Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche, an army deserter and son of a retired Nigerian Army officer.

How to Create a Local WordPress Website in Windows with Xampp

I believe that all WordPress users should have a local installation of WordPress on their PC. The benefits are numerous – you can test themes, plugins, and fiddle with a blog’s design without anyone seeing. It’s lightning quick. There is no danger of being indexed by Google. You can even take a whole website, download it to a local WordPress installation, and play around with it to your heart’s content before uploading the changes.

Edited by Jand0001, Me13, Teresa, Mountain Dew and 7 others The goal of this guide is to show web designers how to install Wordpress [1] (2.8 or above) locally on their computers for the purpose of designing and testing Wordpress themes. Wordpress requires that the computer you are installing to has a web server (such as Apache, Litespeed, or IIS), PHP 4.3 or greater, and MySQL 4.0 or greater. XAMPP [2] is an easy to install web server environment, which has all the previously mentioned components. All of the following instructions are based on the assumption that you have a XAMPP installation running locally on your machine. This tutorial does not discuss the installation of XAMPP.
