    Does anyone know how to set this up?

    I'm starting a social networking website

    http://yaksocial.com

    When people create blogs it's saying page not found!

    http://gittegorzelak.yaksocial.com/

    I was told with Linux I need to set up the GODADDY DNS wildcard settings.

    #1. how do I enable this wild card setting?
    #2. how do I create the htaccess file

    Can I do one or the other? Do I have to do both.

    Please help!

    You need to enter * as the addess to do a wildcard

    It looks like youre using Wordpress MU, in which case you should have a file called htaccess.dist - rename this file to be .htaccess

    You also need to define *.yaksocial.com in your webserver settings to point to your server.
