1) no. they make you pay extra.
2) edit the config file. See the line that says “subdomain ‘true’ ” ? Change it to FALSE.
3. go back to the network confi area and get the new htaccess rules.
boom, you;re in subfolder mode.
but, I know godaddy and those subsites are gonna look like there’s no stylesheet applied.

When I see the ‘new htaccess rules’ in the WP network panel, what do i DO with them? it seems GoDaddy won’t let me download/edit my htaccess file with FTP…

You have to put them in the htaccess file that is on the server.
If you can;t download it, edit & upload, or edit it on the server… well, I dunno what to tell ya.

Okay, I made the ‘false’ edit to my config file, and figured out i can edit my htacccess file, albeit only through godaddy’s interface.
I replaced the htaccess rules with the stuff the wp-network panel suggested (see below), and as a ‘super admin,’ tried to create a new subfolder-subsite….but i get a ‘page does not exist’ error when trying to view either the new site or its dashboard.
help?

It can take an hour for their htaccess changes to catch up, but … If you can ONLY edit it via their interface, then you may not be able to run multisite at all. What hosting plan are you on?
