I just set up MAMP, WordPress and the plugins.jquery.com wp-content stuff. Everything worked flawlessly in the step-to-step process. However, there seems to be problems with ``.local`` virtual hosts on Lion, you can read more about it here: http://forum.mamp.info/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=14081

TL;DR
``.local`` seems to be triggering a lookup in the bonjour service on Lion, and makes every DNS lookup painfully slow. I switched to ``.dev`` and it worked directly, no issues what-so-ever.
