  I currently have a wordpress blog hosted by wordpress. Because of the freedom of customizing self hosted wordpress blogs, I am thinking of doing that. Can I import/export the existing blog into the new self hosted blog?
  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes and the export import of your blog content and your Blogroll links is the easiest part of the move.
