To do this go to http://www.godaddy.com and click Hosting and then click My Hosting Account from the dropdown menu. Then, type in your username and password and click  secure login. Once you are in your account, click manage account which is located beside the domain you want to be associated with WordPress.  Your hosting account will popup and you will need to enter the username/password for your hosting account.

2. Now that you are in your hosting account, you need to find the Content tab and click Go Daddy Hosting Connection located at the very bottom.

3. Once you are on Hosting Connection you will click on the Blogs tab on the left menu.

4. Then select Wordpress and click INSTALL NOW!.

5. Select the domain and click continue

6. Setup database- enter a database password

7. Choose Install Directory- located the subdomain or folder you would like to install WordPress to.

8. Configuration – enter your username and password that you will use to login to the WordPress interface. as well as your email and blog title (which you can change later).

9. Click Finish and wait for GoDaddy to create the WordPress Blog for you, which usually takes only a couple of hours.

*This is only if you pay for your GoDaddy Host, if you are on a free GoDaddy host you need to download WordPress and install it manually to your directory.  These directions work for both Linux and Windows operating systems.

When I tried to update to a new version of wordpress, tried to change the permalinks, or add plugins it would ask for:
GoDaddy WordPress error
Host Name:
Username:
Password:
Connection Type:

After entering my password several times it kept giving me the same error:

Downloading install package from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/adminimize.zip. Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file D:\Hosting\wp\WORDPRESS OR PLUGIN NAME.zip because Permission denied in D:\Hosting\wp\wp-admin\includes\file.php on line 175 Download failed.

Could not create Temporary file To fix this problem you need to:

1. Go into your GoDaddy hosting account
2. Click the Content Tab and scroll down to File Manager
3. Next click the box next on the domain or sub-domain that holds the WordPress Blog
4. Above the list of domains there is an option bar, click the restrictions button
5. Make sure Write and Read are both have a checkmark in the boxes
6. Click OK and you are done

I hope this helps!!
