WAMP vs XAMPP pros/cons – for running a local testing server

XAMPP is NOT cross-platform. There is XAMPP for Windows, XAMPP for Linux, for Mac and for Solaris, but each pack contains different pieces of software, runs differently with different performance, etc. (cross-platform means that you take the exact same piece of software and it runs the same way on different platforms … like Azureus used to be: a jar that you could use the same way)

Store Page Template Files in a Subfolder

I have number of legal documents of different formats / layout that I need to display on a WordPress site, however I don’t want to have them as individual page-pagename.php files in the root of the project folder. I know I can use get_template_part() and load in different template files, but this won’t really help me because the files are all of differing styles.
