 * Internal Server Error
 * The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
   complete your request.
 * Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error
   occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
 * More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
 * Apache Server at bmseifert.com Port 80
 * I was using wordpress.com for awhile before I decided to switch to wordpress.
   org. I already had the domain name bmseifert.com so I purchased deluxe linux 
   hosting from GoDaddy. Once I got that set up I turned off domain mapping via 
   wordpress.com and had GoDaddy redirect all of the appropriate name servers, hosting
   addresses, etc. to the point where they said everything is set to go for what
   I want to do. I then installed the WordPress app on GoDaddy, waited for that 
   to take effect, got the email confirming it, then went to visit my site and the
   whole page is void of all formatting. Whenever I click on something I get the
   error above and am unable to log in. Also, I’m unable to access the site via 
   FTP through FileZilla because of some problem I’m unable to solve despite the
   walk-throughs GoDaddy has given me. I haven’t installed any themes yet or done
   anything to the site (I haven’t been able to touch any settings due to the error).
 * Please help, greatly appreciated!

 * My best guess is that the “WordPress address” and “Site address” settings in 
   your WordPress install are not correct. Since you can’t get into the admin area,
   you’d need to change these settings in a non-standard way (normally you’d set
   them from the Settings page in the admin area).
 * Here’s a great help article from WordPress – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL)
