  Hello,

  I am a web developer who is new to wordpress.com. Is it possible to take an already designed wordpress.org self-hosted site (wordpress theme and database) and transfer that to a wordpress.com hosting? If so, how?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  No and no. Themes are not transferable. There is no FTP access and no database can be imported.
