The problem was that the Blog took took FOREVER to load...5 to 10 seconds AT LEAST!
Of course, very few potential visitors would have the patience to wait that long to see my content.
I am not more than a 'C' student on the technical side of the Web, so naturally I thought the PROBLEM WAS ME!
I called Godaddy and explained the problem. The techie on the other end said something along the lines of
"Oh, it all looks fine to me".
Man, was I PLEASED!!!
The Bluehost Support Pages and Video are Excellent. But, the most pleasant surprise was....
I didn't even NEED THEM.
The Bluehost 'C Panel' (Dashbord or Control Panel) is SO SIMPLE, even a 57-year-old NON Techie like me can figure it out!
I have not mastered Wordpress, by any means, but at least I don't have to worry about the technical side of it any more!
I thought I hadn't 'aliased' my domain right (er, whatever THAT means).
I thought I needed Godaddy's more expensive hosting options. SO I ponied up.
All the time I was so frustrated watching other people's Wordpress blogs loading so nicely in nanoseconds!

That did it.
I had the feeling that Godaddy was aware of the problem and just trying to pretend that a 5-10 second loading time was just fine
I shopped around and heard about Bluehost. I found several references that mentioned they were recommended by Wordpress itself. So I bit!

Plus, it is a mystery why such a big provider like Godaddy can't make Wordpress work promptly

Anyway, the Bluehost control panel is so simple you night actually think it is TOO EASY if you are used to a complicated hosting service like godaddy.
So, I am EXTREMELY happy to be FINALLY ACTUALLY USING WORDPRESS after about half a year trying to get it to work on godaddy.com!
I have not mastered Wordpress, by any means, but at least I don't have to worry about the technical side of it any more!If you have had this problem, you can solve it quick by trying BLUEHOST.
Then you can come back and SING MY PRAISES!
