  I designed a page through WordPress and never selected a plan to take my site live. I now need to migrate this page to my BlueHost WordPress account and for some reason I cannot figure out how.

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

  Hey there @samg9889

  To migrate your site from wordpress.com to a self-hosted site follow the following procedure:

  1. Login to your wordpress.com dashboard.
  2. Click Tools -> Export
  3. Check the Radio Button labeled All content under Choose what to Export
  4. Click Download Export File.
  5. Login to the WordPress Dashboard at the new domain name (BlueHost WordPress account).
  6. Click on Tools and then select Import.
  7. Scroll down the page to the bottom of the list.
  8. Click the link that says WordPress.
  9. Click Browse and open the file that was exported from wordpress.com.
  10. Click Upload file and import.
  11. Create or select the author for all posts.
  12. Mark the checkbox for import file attachments.
  13. Click Submit.

  Hope this helps,

  Cheers
