    I've done this a couple of times and locally. I find, as a occasional dabbler, that I do a bit on these test sites then forget about them. When I go back I am confused as to what I was doing:-)

    I think you will be much more on the ball! The webmentions is a great reason. I think doing small things then implementing might be the trick.

    I've been in the same boat lately—although, for me, I do not think today will be the day :-)

    FWIW Amazon Lightsail made that a 30sec effort when I needed to do it, including snapshotting my live instance as a baseline.

    Cool. I don’t need an exact duplicate, just the theme and some core plugins. Still, it’s amazing what you can do on a phone these days 😉
