So which step did you do? Transferring ownership of the blog (while keeping the same blog name)? What account name were you intending to make and transferring it to? The one corresponding to the blog’s URL?
It might help if you point to the documentation for the step(s) you did.

i kept my user name & i didn’y change my blog adress name..
Did you change your email address?

Ya! i kept it in same blog name
look! i wanted to move from wordpress.com to wordpress.org
so i went to Tools → Export, and download the XML (WXR) file to my computer
and then i went to Tools → Import → WordPress, and upload the file i downloaded.
After i uploaded the file, i chose the option to Download & import file attachments.
then i went to “My Blogs” in dashboard and move mouse over the address of the blog to transfer. You will see that a Transfer Blog option appears “Transfer Blog”
and then i continued the steps.. -

When you say WordPress.org do you mean you want to switch the hosting of your blog to your own server or another hoster using this software … and then just have the WordPress.com name mapped over to there?
WordPress.org is not a free hosting service.
I cannot follow you regarding “Transfer Blog” since mine didn’t give me that option on mouse over. Can you refer to which documentation has the instructions for this?
I suspect (but am still not sure) you really wanted to do domain mapping. That’s something that would make your blog show up as if at another site while still being hosted here, or even the other way around.
Can your describe what the expected end result would be like for your blog if you had accomplished your intentions?

Yes i wanted to swich from wordpress.com to self-hosted wordpress.
Here is the link http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/
and as i read in few blogs and pages that when i’m moving from wordpress.com to wordpress.org i expected to do like more stuff in my blog to control it more
