How to Create a New Subdirectory in Your GoDaddy Hosted WordPress Blog
It’s amazing with all the crap online, you can’t have a simple question answered. In advance. Your welcome. I think it’s so basic that the super smart computer wizards though that it was a waste of time to put up in a FAQ.
Question: Why would anyone want to do this?
In non-nerdy wizardry speak, you can add a landing page, videos, free bonuses, members only area, etc. to your blog. Sorry. I guess that still sounds nerdy. Nonetheless, you’ll be able to make your blog a central hub of awesomeness and not to mention a profit generating machine.
For example, the reason why I needed to do this was because I wanted to add a custom lead capture page to my repetroir. And I thought
Well I want to preserve my brand, while leveraging the work of others… how do I get that done?
Answer: Take the source code of a pre-made landing page and load it on my WordPress Blog.
Sounds easy right? Well it is. You thought I was going to tell you otherwise? Umm no.
Here’s a thought for you. Someone spent countless hours designing this landing page so that you could copy it into your blog. And they’ll pay you to do it. Seriously. God Bless the internet.
Alright so let’s just get started.
Seven Quick Steps
- Log on to your Blog Hosting account at GoDaddy.com
- Click Domains
- Click on your hosted WordPress blog domain
- In the box that says “Web Site Options” click hosting (a new screen pops up)
- Click on Your Files – You should now be in the File Manager
- Click on Create New Directory
- Enter directory name – ***Case Sensitive*** I recommend a very short directory name
That’s it!!!! Are you a visual person. Well I got you….
Here’s a video tutorial. Real quick nothing more than what you need to know.
WARNING: I’m not an expert in this stuff. This is a high level how and real quick so you can get on with your day and quick slacking at your nine to five.
Next Step: How to find the source code of your favorite landing page

Laptop: Lenovo Y410 OS: win XP sp3 AntiVirus: Norton Internet Security 2009 Back in the Philippines, I was using my laptop normally. No problems. I could connect to the internet, download stuff with p2p, etc. About a week ago, we arrived in Las Vegas and have been living with my uncle’s. I was enjoyed his really really fast internet (well, compared to my connection back in the Philippines, It was incredibly fast). I was able to download stuff of interest and also surf normally. The problem occurred after I visited a pornsite (and I’ve been visiting this pornsite back then so, I had confidence that It didn’t pose a threat to my system) (and please, I don’t give a **** about what you think about me If I visit porn sites) My laptop started hanging. I have to hold the power button just to turn it off. Usually, windows would show an error that “the laptop didn’t turn off properly” blah blah… It didn’t. After my next attempts of rebooting the laptop, about 5 minutes into operation, it would slow down, and after a few seconds, it would freeze and after trying to run task manager, it would sound off a loud beep that wouldn’t end unless I turn off the laptop by holding the power button. This happens when I’m connected to the net. This also happens when I’m not connected but gives my laptop more normal run time, and eventually hangs. I tried running system restore, It said that “it couldn’t help solve the problem”. I tried running system restore while in safe mode and it was successful. I rebooted back into normal and the same problem occurred (hang, loud beep). I tried doing a system scan in safemode (since in normal mode, it would hang right away), and it found 1 threat (mebroot) and said (Norton) to have resolved it. Fortunately, I had a back up OS (win XPsp3 again installed on a separate partition). I ran it, and connected to the internet. I surfed to google, fry’s, target, (since I was shopping for stuff). After about 20 minutes into browsing, the same thing happened to my laptop (without browsing porn). It hanged, and sounded a loud beep again. My laptop is a year old, and warranty doesn’t cover it any more. I want to know if I’m having hardware problems or software problems. Thanks! Happy New Year! santoramaa
