Dreamweaver shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts can be a real time saver when creating websites in Dreamweaver. For example, consider the time it takes to bring up code view then search for a specific line of HTML. Now imagine the time you could save if you simply pressed Control+Tab followed by Ctrl+F and typed in part of the line your needing to find. Dreamweaver then goes directly to the HTML code you need.
Listed below are keyboard shortcuts I use most often when using Macromedia Dreamweaver:
Ctrl+N Opens a new document to start editing.
Ctrl+W Closes the current document. If it's not been saved previously you will be prompted to do so.
Ctrl+O Open an existing document from your hard drive.
Ctrl+S Save the current document that you have in view. If it's never been saved, you will be prompted for a file name.
F12 View the current document in a Browser
Ctrl+Q Quickly closes Dreamweaver, does not save changes so use this shortcut carefully.
Ctrl+Z Undo the last change.
Ctrl+Shift+Z Redo the last undo.
Ctrl+C Copy the selected text and put it on the clipboard.
Ctrl+V Paste the text on the clipboard at the cursor location.
Ctrl+A Select all the text in the window.
Ctrl+F Search within the current document for text and replace it with other text if you choose.
Shift+Return Go to next line directly under current cursor position.
Ctrl+Shift+Space Insert a space along the horizontal line at your current cursor position.
Ctrl+T Add a tag quickly in the design view.
Ctrl+J Displays page properties window so you can edit background, text color etc.
Ctrl+Alt+A Quickly insert a named anchor at cursor.
Control+Tab Brings up code view so you can edit your HTML code directly.

Hello Hobie,
I'm not familiar with godaddy blog or how they work. Unfortunately I also can't find any information on their website about what type of blog script they use for their members so is hard to make recommendations on pinging. Your best bet would be to email their support which I guess you've already tried?
Kind Regards.
Tanya.
