Go Daddy has a great WordPress Getting Started guide. I kept trying to do it manually, and also got totally lost and nothing worked. I finally delete everything and used the install on Go Daddy, and everything came together perfectly. What confused me (and still does) is all the different username and passwords, but eventually it all sorted out.
The Getting Started guide I mentioned also goes into the pros and cons of using WordPress vs. their Quick Blogcast. Of course they are trying to sell their own stuff, but I think the guide gave an honest assessment of how much more you will get out of WordPress.
I understand if you want to use an easier blogging system, but since WordPress has so much more to offer you might consider giving it another chance. (And that’s speaking as a total NOOBIE myself).
