Ok,
Have done it but I will apologise for my rubbish explanation. I get a wee bit frustrated.
From my last post I got to mamp admin panel but still couldnt get to my test site.
I then picked from my history drop down list to my wordpress site from last night when I knew it was working fine and quel surprise i have it back.
I will keep page open or bookmarked or something until i then have to learn how to get it live on my host site.
Bon Chance
