   I am in the the very first stages of downloading wordpress and have this question. I currently have a website that is up and running. http://www.izaaks.com. This website was created using a godaddy product called website tonight. This is a template driven website which also has quickshopping cart. The quick shopping cart url is shop.izaaks.com. I intend to keep using the quick shopping cart plug-in.

   My question is this. Godaddy has requested that I provide the url for the new wordpress blog and I want it to be http://www.izaaks.com. How do I keep my old website up until I have created my new website using wordpress. I am a total dope when it comes to this.

   I suggest you ask GoDaddy tech support about this matter. Many good webhosting services have different ways that allow to build a new site "behind" existing site.

   I went from one CMS (Etomite) to another (WordPress) by leaving the old CMS on the home page, while getting the WordPress site working on a folder. I then read this article http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory and used a little creativity to leave my WordPress files in the folder, but have WordPress accessible from the root (www.izaaks.com in your case).
