I have a go daddy account called therapythatheals. I haven't yet used it and would like to use it for this site but the directions are too cumbersome. Is it possible for the creator of this site to do it for me if I give you the information? Thanks!

Also, I wanted to change the status of anyone being able to edit my site to only members. I may have done that already, but I wanted to find the place so I could change it whenever I wanted.

Thanks, Shoshannah Sarah
