I want to add a scrolling header or insert plugin, but I purchased a .COM domain

    customizing my wp.com out of wp.org. I purchased a WordPress.com domain for 99$, but find it limited for elements like adding a plugin or rolling header with customization etc.
    All the blogs I come accross, it seems this can only be resolved if I own a .Org Domain. Can I easily transfer this, or manager my “Blog” out of .org? I am not concerned if my blog/site reads “.Org”.

    Regards,

    Hi there!

    Please have a look at our support document on the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.

    With both versions of the software, you can have any domian name that you like. You can keep your ctbroz.com domain name, and have it point to a self-hosted WordPress site using the software found on WordPress.org.

    if you want to move your site from WordPress.com to a self-hosted site, please have a look at Moving a Blog

    As we only support blogs hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new blog–including the importing of the file–must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

    http://wordpress.org/support

    If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com blog to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’’s right for you:

    Please let me know if you have any questions, I’ll be glad to help!
