UrbanGiraffe rocks! I just installed WordPress on my laptop (took me MUCH longer than five minutes, but what the hey - I haven't a clue as to what I'm doing).

My ultimate goal is to figure out how to create my own WordPress theme - and installing WordPress was an amazing good way to start. Now I can hack away knowing I'm not really going to break anything.

So if you want to play around with WordPress or with themes, check this guy's tutorials out.
