• CSS Rework

The Code

Currently Flare is written in PHP. For styling it is using CSS. For the database I am using MySQL.

Setting Up the SQL

NEED TO ADD Commands to Set up the SQL Tables

Deployment

To deploy your own version of Flare I'd Reccomend using Xampp. Here is a list of steps for the set up in Xampp:

• Clone this repository into your folder for apache
• Open Xampp and Turn on Apache and MySQL
• Go to localhost/myphpadmin
• set up the sql following the steps in the Setting Up the SQL section
• Port forward your website!

Notes

• I need to add the setup for the MySQL
• Adding Screen Shots would be helpful
