Yea, I have about 10 friggen test sites and I try and learn a bit.

Just make anothe folder for example "test". Inside teh test folder FTP all the smf files that folder. Go to www.westernslopeanglers.com/test/ and set up your test site.

It's very important that you use a different databse than the one you use for westernslopeanglers.com. This way, if you break something, it won't effect your westernslopeanglers.com site. Only your westernslopeanglers.com/test/ site.

Be extra careful not to FTP your files to the wrong directory when messing around. Don't FTP your experimental test forum files into your actual site files like I have over a dozen times.

I've even bought more domains that I "may" use in the future. For now I use them as test sites....

BTW, you should always back-up your DB files along with yiur site files for a complete backup.
