  You don’t have to wait 60 days to transfer your content. Only the domain transfer is locked for 60 days. To move your content from wordpress.com to a self-hosted wordpress.org site, https://move.wordpress.com/

  Hi there,

  Do you want to transfer the content on your WordPress.com site at http://sinalawrites.wordpress.com/, to a different site you’ve created on Bluehost’s hosting? In that case you’ll want to follow the instructions linked to above.

  Or do you want to use the domain you bought from Bluehost for your WordPress.com site?

  If you want to use that domain with your existing WordPress.com site, you’ll need to upgrade to one of our paid plans. Then you can use the Domain Connection upgrade included in the plan to connect the domain for now, and once the domain is past the initial 60-day lock you can use the free domain included in the plan to transfer the domain from Bluehost to us.

  Let me know if you have any questions.
