I am going through the "Wordpress Theme Development" course and am using MAMP to develop the theme locally. Everything worked at first but now since I've started messing around with the themes folder Wordpress wont load when I open it. When I click on the folder that contains the Wordpress files in MAMP it just goes to a blank white page. MAMP is working properly because it displays content I have stored in other files it's only the Wordpress one that doesn't work. Any idea's as to what the problem might be?

31,709 PointsPeter, sound to me like you created a syntax error while messing around inside the theme folder. The first thing I would do to track it down would be to go into the wp-config.php file in the root directory of your wordpress install and add this:
@ini_set( 'log_errors', 'Off' );
@ini_set( 'display_errors', 'On' );
@ini_set( 'error_reporting', E_ALL );
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', false );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true );
That should show pretty much all errors.
