  Need help I want to copy the content from my “whateverblog.wordpress.com” to my “whatever.info” domain which has wordpress installed on it.

  How can I do this with all the excisting content in tact?

  You should be able to export your blog using Manage > Export in your Dashboard. That will export the whole site to a file that you can import with your self-hosted blog. I don’t think that you will be able to transfer any files you might have. You will probably need to re-upload any photos or media you have on the blog.

  If you leave any images you have uploaded here, they will hotlink to your new blog.

  Also, you will have to import your links separately as they are not included in the blog export file.
