One way to work on WordPress without having to be on a live server and connected to the net is by carrying a functional (local) copy of your server software (Apache, PHP, MySQL) on your laptop. WLTC has a 2 part instructions to help you do just that. It might also be of interest to know that there is an even more flexible and possibly more efficient way to accomplish this, to have a copy right in your USB stick, Ralph.fm has the “Know How”, check it out!

I prefer the USB option to work as I switch from one computer to another, although the WLTC option gives you the space to make an “actual copy” of all your content including the database (posts, categories whatnot), some might prefer this, especially if they are hosted in a shared environment!
Never knew about the USB option. Thanks for linking to the article I wrote on WeblogToolsCollection and thanks for sharing the link on how to put a web server on a USB stick. Man, that sounds weird.
