  I just opened my wordpress.com only to find out that it doesn’t support plug-ins for music, video etc. I know that wordpress.org has more of the features I’m looking for. How can I switch and keep the .com I paid for? I really don’t want to pay the $129 because I just set it up, and I think it’s ridiculous for me to spend that kind of money to switch it. Is there another way?

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

  Hi there, you are welcome to keep your domain registered with us and update the nameservers to point to another hosting provider by following this guide:

  After 60 days from the date of purchase or registrant contact information change, you may also transfer your domain to another registrar by following this guide:
