  Ok, Im very new to all of this stuff so don’t be mean. I have everything I need to host a wordpress blog. I have My wordpress blog on wordpress, I have paid for hosting at godaddy and I have paid for the domain http://lilwayneflows.com/ and I have paid for the whole 10 dollar a year thing on wordpress to have a domain on there. Now what do I need to do to upload new themes and everything. Ive been trying to figure this all out for a while. I downloaded wordpress on godaddy.com, like the application and not sure what else I need to do. And my site redirects to godaddy.com now because I changed the nameservers back. I did have it going to my blog because I changed the nameservers to the n1, n2, things but I changed it back becausse somebody else told me that i needed to. Can somebody please help me. Ive spent all this money and I don’t want to waste it.

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

  You can’t use WordPress.com with a host. You have to head over to WordPress.org, and download it there.

  This forum is for Wp.com users only – and you need to be in the .org forum:
  http://wordpress.org/support/

  If you need help migrating from.com to .org:

  Since all your have to do is upload it, you need to go back there and post a new topic explaining how you need to upload it. Acctually, the Wp.org codex should help you.

  Since your blog was previously on WordPress.com, you can also read this article:
