  8. That being the case we opened http:\/\/localhost:8888\/MAMP\/index.php?page=phpmyadmin&language=English to start up the incomparable, the never before seen in this country at this time and in these weather conditions, “phpMyAdmin” to, if you haven’t already done so …<\/li>\n
  9. Click the “New” (database) link …<\/li>\n
  10. Fill in the new name for a database (and we use “wordpress” here) …<\/li>\n
  11. Click the “Create” button … which creates a shell of a MySQL database ready for the WordPress install to “infill” with data …<\/li>\n
