[wpdd-discuss] [PATCH www v2] Add instructions for testing out the site locally

[Jason Yundt]

The goal of this change is to allow contributors to test out their
contributions before submitting them.

I chose to use port 49152 since it’s the first private port [1]. I could
have used the default ports for HTTP or HTTPS, but using those ports
requires root access.
