HELP!!!
Complete neophyte, need to get websites up. Trying to use a template from www.oswd.org and upload it to godaddy.com hosdting site and haven't the slightest idea. Just trying to get a functional site up to test a product. HELP!!! I don't even know where to start. I tried to upload it through their FTP and no luck or something.....I am going to pull my hair out!!!

ALSO, anyone know the trick to getting blogger to work with godaddy? I followed the instructions to the letter and NOTHING!!!!

I'm not familiar with GoDaddy's hosting, but I'm pretty sure they have some information to help you get started in the support section. other than that, you can always call them and see if you can get some help that way.

Thanks, I'll try that. They weren't able to help me with the blogger issue though.

hi rntalks,

i will try to help you as much as i can~
first things first,

Don't use the FTP agent on Godaddy.com,
GO and Download FILEZILLA (look it up at google.com),

On Filezilla:
enter your "Address:" (your web godaddy hosted url)
enter your "User:" (Your Username on your godaddy hosting plan, it's case sensitive)
enter "password:"
enter "Port:" (Just press enter it should give you 21 by default

after those steps,
start uploading your files to the server,

from then on,
try to get as much knowledge as possible,

i would suggest you start with wordpress,
as it is the easiest and you'll learn alot through them~

feel free to come back and ask for more
