This is true, although it doesn't make that information particularly clear in the current set-up, where it recommends you make sure to update DNS. It does seem it could be a little more streamlined compared to other hosts. Hey Sean,

Mislaid interface aside, the load times are often severely lacking, as well. When making a purchase, I've often had to reload and wonder how many extra times I just charged myself.

I too moved my blogs hosting over to BlueHost so I could run the Headway theme. Why it doesn't work on GoDaddy hosting is beyond my technical abilities but it's frustrating none the less.

GoDaddy may be one of the biggest but so was Yahoo at one time.

I'd say "reader / reading" is still good enough for your question. We're still using our eyes to read text; whether that's in print, online, via a Word doc or similar, so I think "e-Reader" still fits the bill. Hi Dan,

When you mention the Sony E-Reader, in fact it is not an e-reader it is an E SCREENER....when we "read" on screens we are not really "reading". The action is so vastly different from real reading on paper surfaces that a new word is called for. Any ideas? I have suggested calling online and onscreen reading as "screening" and Kevin Kelly agrees with me, as does Marvin Minksy at MIT Media Lab. What's your POV. Since screens are now part of our lives today 24/7/365, and since Anne Mangen has shown that how we read on paper and how we read on screens are two very different mental and emotional experiences, whereby even differnent parts of our brains light up, really!, so do we not need a new word for this new kind of "reading" experience and does "screening" fit the bill? If not, can you suggest any other words that might be good for this? We do need a new word. It might happen naturally and come down the road un-announced in 5 to ten years. Or my idea of calling it "screening" might catch on too. Your POV, sir, danny to Danny, d2d that is. -- cheers, Danny<br><br>see my blog on all this at <a href="http://zippy1300.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://zippy1300.blogspot.com</a>, i have been on this for 6 months, day and night.

As more and more people go online with blogs (20,000+ new ones per day), the set-up and admin of back-end systems need to become easier. I would also include WordPress Themes as well! ;-) Danny – Sites like Twitter and products like the Flip camera are setting a benchmark for what consumers expect (or at least would like to see) in the “ease of use category”.

And kudos for the best slang term I've seen on my comments yet – “eleventy-seven”, love it! :)

GoDaddy is such a drag to work with and yes, ending up with a ton of windows open is annoying. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.

Finally, after reading your post this morning about 'unlocking' the domain did I have a 'duh' moment and now it's forwarding. Thank you! The sad part is, I had contacted tech support and they never once said anything about unlocking the domain. I realize it probably should have been a no-brainer, but you'd think that would be their first bit of advice. <br>I also hate, hate, hate the fact that GoDaddy opens a new window every time you click on a link, so I end up having eleventy-seven GoDaddy windows by the end of my session.
