  I want to transfer my blog to wordpress.org but can’t access the admin end because it links straight into the .com end.

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

  Howdy!

  Once you setup a hosting provider for your .org blog, you’ll just need to adjust the name servers of your domain to point to your new host instead of WordPress.com. You’ll still need to manage the domain here until you’ve owned it for 60 days.

  We have an article with step-by-step on changing the name servers here:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  (Note that if GoDaddy is your new hosting provider, they require a different method of mapping. See instructions at the bottom of that article.)

  Once you’ve owned the domain for 60 days, if you no longer wish to manage the domain settings through WordPress.com you can transfer the domain to another registrar:
