 * I have FTP’d to my go daddy hosting “windows”server
    I have an sql set up and
   named.
 * The word press file was unzipped to my hard drive I than took dream weaver and
   changed wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php. and ftp the script to my 
   hosting
 * When visiting the domain name I get a blank page.
    I ftp to the root folder. 
   no sub folder “blog” or anything.
 * Any idea what I need to do to get the install screen to start?

 * It’s is recommended that you DO NOT use Dreamweaver. Get and use FileZilla. Please
   review [Uploading WordPress to a remote host](http://codex.wordpress.org/Uploading_WordPress_to_a_remote_host)
   and [Installing WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress).
