   Hey, that’s an original idea.

   or maybe not?

   I really don’t see the point of this; why would you want to blog on a local copy of the real site? What’s wrong with simply putting Notepad++ portable on it?

   @gidibao, you’re welcome.

   @Leftblank, I believe the purpose of this is not to blog, but to test themes, plugins etc.

   @Leftblank
   thats a really stupid question. Like Ajay said you can use it for testing things before finalizing it on the web.

   Well, then my point still lies there, I don’t see much of a value in being able to test new plugins/themes ‘anywhere’, especially not Xampp tends to be (very) slow, especially on USB sticks…

   I’ve used both WordPress On A Stick and XAMMP Lite. I think XAMPP Lite is a bit faster; it’s definitely smaller, although only by a few megs.

   @Leftbank – I can take my stick anywhere and develop themes and plugins for WordPress. I don’t care that it’s slow. I care that I get my plugins and themes as error-free as I can. I can plug the flash drive into any Windows 2000 or Windows XP computer and work on the theme or plugin, even without any internet connection.

    I work in a higher ed environment. Putting WordPress on a Stick is geeky, but it makes a great tool for organizing classes or projects (even digital textbooks as a single WP site). If the student had a microphone, it would also be possible to add mp4 audio commentary to their portable WP site(s). A twenty chapter textbook, with all it’s still images, and many mp4 clips could easily fit on a USB drive. Even without Internet connectivity, a student would have their basic textbook available.

   […] Voici un tutoriel (en anglais) expliquant la procédure pour installer une version de WordPress sur un support amovible telle qu’une clé USB, un disque dur externe, un iPod, etc. La procédure nécessite l’installation du logiciel XAMPPLITE qui se charge de la gestion de la base de données entre autre. Ainsi, que vous vouliez bricolez vos thèmes et vos plugins où que vous soyez sans forcément être connecté c’est la solution pour toujours avoir votre installation de WordPress sur vous. En outre, votre blog en ligne ne sera donc pas altéré par de quelconques erreurs de développement (principe de l’installation en local). Et pourquoi pas, également, pour juste avoir à disposition son journal personnel sur soi. Astuce découverte grâce à Weblog Tools Collection. […]
