Hosting your own wordpress blog
-
My blog is hosted on wordpress.com, but I’ve just bought a domain and want to host the blog myself.
How do I do this?
Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

1. You hire a web host > http://wordpress.org/hosting/
2. You download a wordpress.org install and upload it into your new site, if the web host does not provide one, and then you read all the installation instructions at http://wordpress.org/ -
3. You choose the theme and the plugins you wish to use and upload them into your new install.
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
4. Then you follow these instructions to export your blog content out of wordpress.com blog and into your new install.

You’re welcome. There is a more detailed account I posted into a forum thread you can locate by using the forum searchbox. I don’t have the time to search for it. :)

That’s ok, the info at http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org was more than helpful.

That’s the last step and Staff have described it very well. Before you even get to that step I recommend read this page. > http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress
The support forum for installation issues is here but hopefully you won’t need to post to it > http://wordpress.org/support/forum/2
Best wishes for a smooth transition. :)
