Hi everyone
I've had a look through the forums and not sure I can quite find/understand the answer to my question.
I am currently running a blog through wordpress.com and I had paid for a domain name through them too. I then decided to go self hosted so I could have more functionality with my blog, and went for GoDaddy after a friend (who I now realise was on blogger!) recommended.
I installed the wordpress app on GoDaddy but I didn't know what to do from there as nothing seemed to happen. I then called GoDaddy who said that I really needed to move my domain so that they owned it too instead of whoever I bought it through from wordpress.com so I think I've done that bit now too.
I've now uninstalled and reinstalled the wordpress app through GoDaddy, and when I try to go to myblog.com/wp-admin/ and enter the login I set up through GoDaddy it doesn't work.
So my questions are:
If I have a login through wordpress.com do I need a new one if I'm trying to use wordpress.org? (When I installed the wordpress app on Godaddy it asked me to set up a username/password and I don't know where I need that for?)
I keep reading about extracting my wordpress.com blog and uploading to a FTP. Do I need to do this if I've installed the app through GoDaddy?
If I've installed the app through GoDaddy do I still need to download the thing from wordpress.org?
Does anyone know of any good tutorials for using GoDaddy with wordpress? I've found that the youtube tutorials only show you as far as installing the app, and not what to do from there onwards!
Sorry if this is a lot of seemingly simple questions, but I'm really new to this and definitely need all the help Ican get!!!
