  Hi,
  a friend of mine wants me to change things in his website. Some of them are tiny, but some of them bigger. I worked with WordPress before, but always in a live environment. What is the easiest way to create a live test environment on OS X?

  Thanks:-)

  Hi there. Are you speaking of a WordPress.com or a WordPress.org site? See here for the difference: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  On WordPress.com you need to create a separate site and set it to private. Then you can test changes and duplicate them on the live blog once you’re happy with them.

  For WordPress.org you’ll need to post in their support forum as we cannot help you with that here: http://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t already have a username on that forum, click the register button in the upper right corner so you can post in that forum.

  Thanks Kokkieh! I actually mean the .org site. I didn’t even notice until then, that there was a difference:-)
