  This blog http://maribelskidneystory.wordpress.com/ is alreay being domain mapped to this domain http://www.maribelskidneystory.com/
  Do you want to move your blog content into a WordPress.org install? Is that what you are asking?

  These are the differences http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  I want to cancel services with yahoo and get domain hosting directly from wordpress. Let me check out the link that you provided to see if this answers this.

  Unfortunately, WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers.

  If you want to register a domain through us, you would need to register a different one.

  What you are doing now (registered through Yahoo and mapping to us) is perfectly fine. If you want to get away from Yahoo, you could transfer the domain to a different registrar and still map it to us.
