  Is this possible? I am thinking about getting my own host and was wondering if I could just transfer my current blog over to wordpress.org? If I did do that would I be allowed to use any kind of ads and such I wanted to on my blog?

  You can export the contents of your wordpress.com blog to a wordpress.org blog (see FAQs for instructions). And yes you can advertize on a wordpress.org blog. http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/02/23/how-do-i-move-between-blogs-2/

  Ok, cool.

  Will I still be able to use the theme that I use now?

  I believe so, just download the Freshy theme and install it. I can’t seem to search the WordPress.com blog for the announcement about Freshy so I’m not sure where you’d get it from.

  I’d recommend you to download the Freshy theme directly from the developer’s site. If you download the one from the above link, you will get a mysql error on the sidebar… at least that’s what happened to me…
