t3st: yep! you're totally right. im a helpless newbie at this! >.<
i somewhat "get" what both of you mean but there's still a whole lot im totally clueless about.

sarmenhb: i downloaded the program. but what is it used for? is it for code checking? cause i have a folder on my desktop that i called "website" and its there that i keep all of my files for my website and then i upload them using CoreFTP. if i use the wamp program, isnt it gonna scatter all my website files into different parts of my computer?
and well, i dont know what "root directory" and "local host". im really really new to all of this.
PS i added you on msn.

i just figured the link i posted earlier on at the top of the page didnt work. just fixed it. :)
