Deena, if Go-daddy hosting works for you great. A lot of people find their panels difficult to navigate; I've universally heard their user support sucks.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The next time you need a phone, ita, be sure to consult with Stephen Fry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My god, he's insane. But he doesn't mention my new phone! ::sniff::

Gar, they've improved the controls a lot. They were horrible. I've never had any trouble with their support, especially if I call in the middle of the night. They're much better then. The daytimers are usually a little less together, but we get the job done.
So, whew, good to know I'm not missing something too terrible. But then, I may have gotten a little too used to them. Last time I looked at a dreamhost control panel I found it incomprehensible.

Dreamhost just changed their panels. I love their service, but the logic behind their panel organisation is quite beyond me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
This is such a trivial little thing that I'm not sure it's even Buffistechnology-worthy, but it doesn't seem to fit anywhere else:
I have a short (~15 seconds) film I took with our digital camera of Emmett and Matilda sliding down a slide together, blah blah cutecakes blah blah. But, since it was a longish slide, I held the camera sideways instead of right side up to take the film.
Now that it's uploaded, the film itself is sideways and neither iPhoto nor iMovie seem willing to cough up any instructions whatsoever for rotating it. Still photos, sure, but not the film. None of the immediately visible menu options do it, and I've combed through all of iMovie help using every search term I can think of and come up with nothing. Am I just SOL, or is there an easy obvious solution that I'm not seeing because they've buried it someplace I'll never find without assistance?

I take sideways movies by accident fairly often, and it never even occurred to me that there was a way to fix this! Go JZ with the asking! I await the answer...

The word "Windows" scares me - will it work on a Mac or just muck things up worse?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just opened up iMovie to see if I could find a solution, and...wow. I really really really really REALLY hate iMovie. I'd almost forgotten how much.
Er, which is to if you don't have FCP or FCE, a free solution is to download MPEG Streamclip and use that instead. (When you select "Export to Quicktime" there's a field for "rotation" that lets you select the angle and direction you need.)
