import information from .com to .org
-
I’m thinking of making the switch from wordpress.com (currently have) to .org because I want more control with my meta descriptions, plug ins etc. I’m hesitant because of the recent posts I”ve added are finally getting some “play time” is there a way to import some if not all of my posts from .com to .org?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes you can do a partial export and import . See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
That said I wouldn’t do it.
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/
2. Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
http://wordpress.org/themes/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/3. Export your content out of your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and import it into the install.
4. Purchase a site redirect upgrade from wordpress.com
http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/ or if you have domain mapping then update the nameservers http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/5. Transfer subscribers and stats. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/
6. Set your wordpress.com blog visibility to private. To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
NOTE: WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
Alternatively you can purchase a Guided Transfer and Staff will do the move and set up for you http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/

WOW, thanks for all that. May I inquire why you wouldn’t do it? Just to much leg work transferring or is it making the switch all together?
I really love my .com, I just wish I had more control over meta data, & seo stuff….
any suggestions there? -
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/Staff does not move content from one to the other without you purchasing an upgrade for that specific purpose. You can purchase a Guided Transfer and Staff will do the move and set up for you instead of doing it yourself. See here http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/
