  I recently obtained a hosting account with GoDaddy with the intention of having godaddy host my blog. During the set-up of my hosting account with godaddy, I activated the wordpress software and created the wordpress account. Unfortunately, I used an email already tied to a wordpress.COM account. Now, when I try to log in to my wordpress account (that I created with godaddy, wordpress is unaware that it exists. I can see the information on my godaddy account but wordpress has no record. I am totally lost and frustrated and have no clue how to proceed. I believe the issue stems from my dumb mistake of using the same address. Short of uninstalling the wordpress on my godaddy hosted account and then reinstalling it, I am lost. any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated since godaddy’s customer supports suggestion was to contact wordpress….

  thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  WordPress.COM has nothing to do with your Godaddy site – you need to log into your Godaddy blog whatever it’s address is. You will not ever be able to get there from here.

  You also should make friends over at WordPress.ORG – http://wordpress.org/

  Should send you to .ORG – but what is the URL (domain name) that you are setting up on Godaddy??

  Your log-in should be something like http://your-domain.com/wp-login.php

  currently, the domain is forwarding, but I disabled that earlier today. not finished yet.

  I am leaning towards uninstalling the wordpress software in my hosting account and then re-installing with a different (and clean) wordpress account.

  thoughts about that???

  thanks for the suggestions!

  WordPress.com and a WordPress install on GoDaddy are totally separate login systems, so using the same email address for both won’t make any difference and you shouldn’t worry about that.

  What did you mean by saying you “can see the information on my godaddy account but wordpress has no record”?

  I’m not clear on what you expected to see when you logged in to your GoDaddy WordPress setup compared to what is actually happening for you.

  Since you are hosing on Godaddy and not WordPress.COM you really should make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are now using.

  http://wordpress.org/support/

  When you post over at WordPress.ORG you should also post the domain name of your site, it will help a lot. Many sharp people over there.

  This forum is for blogs that are hosted on WordPress.COM.
