  I am in the process of setting up my jewelry blog and just realized that wordpress.com doesn’t support plug-ins.

  Now I have some questions that I can’t find answers to.

  1) Can I transfer the current blog over to wordpress.org without redoing my work? Will my current theme work on wordpress.org?
  2) Do I have to know code and stuff to run a blog on wordpress.org?

  Thanks for your help!

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

  1) yes
  2) no, but it helps

  You can sell things you make yourself on a WP.com blog and I know several people who do, but it’s not as sophisticated as the plugins available for WP.org.

  1) MistyLook is available for download for self-hosted blogs, but it has been updated a couple times and looks a little different from the version used here.
