Glad you got it to work... it should have come up to that URL
automatically when you used the 'Explore Local Web' option, or however it
was phrased.

I can't answer for anyone else, but I can tell you how I did it...
Intense curiosity about everything .. sticking my nose in every menu
option and every config file of programs that I used ...
LOTS of time on Google...
A good general feel of the underlying disciplines of how everything
connects together...
For example: This is something that I thought it would be excellent for
everyone who does any WEB-based stuff to know.
When you using your web browser, and you type in an address into your
address bar.. lets say
< http://www.google.com >
What all happens, both on the side of the local web browser *and* on the
server when you give that request?
Knowing the answer to that question can really really help cut down
debugging time because you know what kinds of errors come up and the
different stages where there might be a problem.
