How can I use WordPress from localhost?

Hi,

After installing WordPress you also need to install XAMPP software so that you can run WordPress.

After installation, use this link

After opening this link, create a database

Create a new database, name it,  then  download WordPress from the internet, placing it into this directory

C:xampphtdocs or in the htdocs subdirectory where you have installed XAMPP

You can now open WordPress by using the following link :

http://localhost/wordpress

And you should be able to create a database

I give here your second question answer (How can you make my own WordPress theme?), and for your first question I will give you a link.

So, follow my below instructions for your second question answer.

NB: Here you have not any idea about coding.

First you need to create an account at Lubith.com, after creating your account please login. (You will see some default Themes)

I did not give any more details here because it is very easy to use, I give the links below if you want you can use it and get help from these links. You can create your theme and host it in your local host.
