  Hi there!

  It’s a pretty straight forward process. You can read about it here:

  Please note that you can’t import themes and plugins to WordPress.com. You can read about the differences between .org and .com here:

  If you plan on using a custom domain that you already own for your WordPress.com site, you will need to set up domain mapping on your new site. Domain mapping requires an upgraded WordPress.com plan.

  If you have any more questions, please ask!
