Help with Wordpress Installation

    Hi guys,

    I recently bought a domain and hosting with GoDaddy. I know absolutely nothing about web design/programming/coding/etc.

    What I am trying to do is set up a blog for my site so that http://www.mysite.com/blog becomes a functional page. However, I have no idea how to do this. I have looked around the forums here as well as looked at the "Famous 5 Minute Installation" and none of that has worked so far.

    I think what I need is a GoDaddy Specific Wordpress installation for creating a blog on a subpage of my site.

    Anybody got any advice for me?

    http://help.godaddy.com/article/834 hard to say where your problem is. Its fairly simple stuff. If I had to venture to guess you set the directory path wrong. See step 10 if everything was working thus far.

    hope that helps,
    Nigel

    Well, your first mistake was getting Hosting with Go Daddy, if you choose any other website host, you would be able to do it easy.

    It is fairly easy to install, just its a shame you don't have any basic knowledge. Now i am assuming that you have got Go Daddy hosting with cPanel.

    Here are a link that might be able to help you - http:// codex[dot]wordpress[dot]org/Installing_WordPress

    However, if you still have any further issues, please let me know as i would be more than happy to assist you installing Wordpress. Please feel free to drop me PM to discuss further.
