I'm not sure I phrased the title as well as possible, but what I mean is: For example, if I need to revamp the Photo Gallery (which I would want to test the new version on a local test server first, and then upload when functioning properly), but meanwhile am still accumulating new content (stories, blog posts, etc.) on the live site, how would one best integrate the new, tested Photo Gallery back into the live site without losing the blog posts, stories, etc., that were added in the interim on the live site?

Thanks so much!

Work the kinks out on a test site making notes along the way.
After the kinks are worked out and notes are taken.

Put your production live site in offline mode.
add the new functionality.

Because you are allowing the production site to remain live, you wont be able to import the testing database.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks again, VeryMisunderstood! I am studying online docs and 2 Packt books as quickly as possible, so I can get better with this...
