Question from Clara: I’ve been writing a WordPress blog that discusses a variety of family issues for over two years now.
I recently installed an update to a plugin that completely broke my blog, and since I couldn’t log in to my WordPress account I couldn’t remove the bad plugin.
I searched for a solution on Google for three days and I finally found your excellent blog post explaining how to disable the bad plugin using an FTP program, and it saved me. Thank you for that!!
Now, my question: I heard that it’s possible to install WordPress on my local PC so I can test new plugins and updates without having to chance breaking my real blog again. Can you tell me how to do that?

Question from Ellen P.: I hope you can help me Rick, and I thank you in advance for trying.
I travel frequently and give video presentations as part of my work, and an issue has arisen. My old laptop got stolen and I had to buy a new one.
The new laptop doesn’t have a VGA connector which is what my projector uses. Do you know of any way that I can connect the HDMI port on my laptop to the VGA socket on the projector?

Question from Liam: My wife and I recently went to a flea market to look for some things for our house.
I ended up buying a used Lenovo ThinkPad T400 with Windows 7 on it.
It’s obvious that it’s a pretty old laptop but it seems to work well.
I didn’t notice it when it was running at the flea market but there’s a message in the corner of the screen saying “This copy of Windows is not genuine”.
What does that mean? Is it a problem? [Read more…]
