  Hi,
  I would like to move my blog here at wordpress.com to WordPress.org. Is this possible? I have no technical knowledge so your help would be appreciated.
  Thank you,
  L

  WordPress.org is not a host, so you would not be moving “to” wp.org. You would download the free software from wordpress.org and hire a web host. See the sticky about the differences b/w wordpress.com and org.

  Thanks for the reply. If I set up web hosting and download the software can I then transfer my blog?

  Yes. You can export the contents of this blog and import them into your self-hosted blog.
