How in the hell do I run WordPress.org?!
-
I have learned since creating my website, OilSalesmen.com, that in order to use plugins I need a site through the .org. I have downloaded wordpress.org but cannot run any files. Please help.

If you’re interested, we do offer an upgrade called Guided Transfer (available in the Store section of your blog’s Dashboard) where we take care of everything for you: http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/
Otherwise, you’ll need to install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ on a hosting provider. We have some recommendations at http://get.wp.com/hosting/
Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
http://wordpress.org/support/
http://codex.wordpress.org/We do offer yearly and one-time premium support packages for self-hosted WordPress sites through our VIP program, available at http://vip.wordpress.com

Well, when I purchased the domain name and domain privacy I thought I was also purchasing that. So, my next question is how do I find out what the $99 I got charged covers?
-
The $99 was for a Value Bundle. Your blog is still a part of the WordPress.com service, despite the added features.

To run WordPress.org, you’ll need to install the software on a hosting provider.
As for the domain, you can point it to your new hosting provider by changing the nameservers: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers
