  Am I understanding this correctly? Can I create a free blog on wordpress.com Then, buy a premium theme I like. Export my entire site and then upload my site via wordpress.org and then add plugins to that premium theme?

  Is there a better way to go about this?

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

  No that’s not correct.

  Note: Premium Themes that are licensed for WordPress.com use only cannot be transferred to self-hosted WordPress.org sites. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/

  Can you migrate your blog content, minus the theme from a free hosted WordPress.com blog into a WordPress.org install? The answer is yes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
