  I’d like to move my WP.com blog (startupmentality.com) to another hosting provider so I can do more dangerous widget stuff. I understand I can export the data easily. (How) Can I export my theme? It is Regulus by Binary Moon.

  You cannot export the theme. It was originally made for wordpress.org blogs and then adapted to run on wordpress.com software.

  You can export the wordpress.com blog contents with ease into an xml file and then import them into the Regulus theme for wordpress.org blogs. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/07/can-i-migrate-my-blog-from-here-to-another-blog-somewhere-else/

  You must export and import the links separately. This is done here http://NAMEOFYOURBLOG/wp-links-opml.php but you must replace “NAMEOFYOURBLOG”, of course.
