  There is no FTP access at WordPress.com – security and reliability reasons

  http://mrplhmrsbmh.wordpress.com/ – no FTP

  If:

  I just went thru godaddy to get a domain and hosting

  then:

  The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

  This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/

  The forum at WordPress.ORG is not connected to WordPress.COM so you will need to open an account at .ORG if you do not already have one. You may use the same email at WordPress.ORG as you do at WordPress.COM.

  this is so much harder that I thought it would be. why wouldn’t godaddy know that the 3 times I have talked to them today. and the have a wordpress hosting that I just purchased to help. we got the the FTP part and of course he didn’t say you don’t have that. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I will skip the GD snark – but you can move your blog to Godaddy by Exporting the content from here and importing it to your new site

  Dashboard >> Tools >> Export / Import

  The GD FTP confusion seems to be a “feature” – FTP is used in some cases for moving a WordPress.ORG install from one host to another host
