  I recently purchased the premium newsy theme from wordpress. Is it possible this is not working properly because the software needs to be installed on a web server?? I need to move me wordpress.com blog to wordpress.org, engage a host company and prepare the site to accept payments. What is the most efficient way to go about this?

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

  You can’t. Please see this:

  When you purchase a premium theme, it is available for the lifetime of that blog. If you would like to use the same theme across multiple blogs, you’ll have to purchase the theme for each blog.

  Note: Premium Themes are customized for WordPress.com usage only, and cannot be transferred to self-hosted WordPress.org sites. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/

  And this: WordPress.com vs WordPress.org run on different software.
