I’m installing wordpress on my GoDaddy domain and I keep getting this error message when I run the install file: Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.
I know there is a lot of literature on how to fix this, but I don’t understand any of it! Could someone please baby me through it?
I’m using Firefox, Mac OS X, and a godaddy hosted account.

What that is telling you is that there is a problem with the Web server itself.
Use GoDaddy’s built-in installer and you should not have these problems:http://help.godaddy.com/article/834
Alternatively, contact GoDaddy tech support if their installer is causing you trouble.
I remain the last person on Earth who reads technical documentation.
you can always make a sub-domain, like if you go to http://www.whatever.com it will take you to http://www.myblog.wordpress.com
