godaddy hosting for Drupal

first post to these forums;
new to Drupal...so bear with me.
Previously, I've done my work in asp.net 2.0 with alot of html and flash. The drupal platform was introduced to me by a fellow freelancer and it has a real appeal.
after developing a simple site on 'wamp' locally, i wanted to upload to my godaddy shared hosting site and after beating my head against the wall for an interminable amount of time, i had moderate success - albeit painfully and incomplete.
fast forward:
i talked to the scripting support at godaddy; got a sharp woman named Bonnie who directed me to the facile Drupal 6 installation package on godaddy. Within minutes, i had a fresh install with configured database, etc.
Why I didn't see this sooner? I don't know, it would've saved me so much time..
so, in the spirit of community, I thought I'd share this - this may already be something everyone here already knows...but.
after logging into godaddy;
