I've seen waaaay too many people modifying their Wordpress sites live, which is fragile because when (not "if") you break something, your visitors will see it. Here are steps for setting up a copy of your site locally, so you can muck around without worry. These instructions are for Wordpress sites hosted on GoDaddy specifically, but they should be fairly easy to interpret for other providers.

To back up your database

1. Log into GoDaddy, and go to "My Account".
2. Under "Web Hosting", click Launch next to your site's name.
3. Under "Databases", click "MySQL".
4. Next to your database name, click "Actions"->"Back Up".
5. Log into FTP, and under /_db_backups/ you'll see a new *.sql file.
6. Rename this to be mydb-YYMMDD.sql format (e.g. superwordpress-130220.sql).
