Migration
-
Hi all,
Hope you can help me with this, because I’m totally lost.
I try to change my blog from wordpress from paid to unpaid.
From: http://roosfashionstyle.com to: http://roosfashionstyle.wordpress.com.
I want to migrate the content, and if possible, the widgets.Do I have to change the the blog address (http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/) or move the blog (http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/) or maybe neither, or another solution?
Thanks a lot!
Roos
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thanks a lot for your quick answer!
There is quite some information, do I need to migrate it for sure? Changing the address won’t work right?
Is it basically just exporting and than importing again?
+ installing the widgets again?Thanks!

Changing the blog address applies only to changing one .wordpress.COM blog address to another .wordpress.COM blog address. It is not relevant in your case.
After you move your content …
You have your own domain and if you intend to keep it then you need to set up mapping to an existing domain at http://roosfashionstyle.com/ from your .wordpress.com URL at http://roosfashionstyle.wordpress.com/

You can move content in pages and posts only.You cannot move widgets.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.
Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.
Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.
Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades to purchase upgrades for the blog.
If you own a domain then see here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
