 * I just uploaded 2.6 to my GoDaddy server. However, now my website is white, and
   I no longer have a log-in page. I’m a rookie, so if someone could give me a 1-
   2-3, I would be eternally thankful.

 * Have you just uploaded the wordpress? if so you should see install steps. You
   have to rename wp-config.php.sample to wp-config.php as the first step

 * I can’t even begin by finding which folder the wp-config.php.sample file is. 
   Yikes, am I in over my head.

 * GoDaddy has a one click install for wordpress – might look into that.
 * the wp-config-sample.php is in the root of the /wordpress folder you extracted
   from the zip

 * Thanks, Samboll. Working at it now. Big learning curve for a rookie, of course.
