Im a total newbie, but have a question about free directory scripts or paid. Can you mess around in Dreamweaver and submit links and use all of the functionality of the Directory script without it being live? I have some testing I would like to do and I dont have a host or anything. Anyone?
imo you should set up a host first, once you set up well and then announce on other sites, it's okay.
If your going to play around with the script as others have said use wamp or set it up on a hosted test server.
i agree with this application... it's good for people that involve designer, programmer and also developer to test they script...
