Hello,

I want to start installing The Gem and configuring it so that I can replace my current (very old and cronky) web site the url given above.

I have Worpress installed on my shared hosting platform (at NetHosted.com)

How do I install this into a 'test' area so that I can play with it and then publish it live once I am happy with it....?

Apologies if I've misunderstood. I am going through the installation documentation and it seems as if it will be installed in my live web-site area.

Hi,
Sorry for possible misunderstanding, you can simply make test folder and install wordpress there...

Thanks Gregor. Do I then just copy the whole directory to the server root directory when I am ready to go live....?
