moving wordpress.org site to wordpress.com

    Hi,

    I have begun to set up a wordpress site for a load gardening group and am really a complete newby at this. I had originally set up a wordpress site on .com, and then decided that, as a former programmer, I would be looking for more control over the site, and so I downloaded wordpress and installed it locally on my own machine. While beginning development I was also considering where to host the site, and as the cost was a consideration I thought again about hosting the finished site on wordpress.com (I hope this isn’t too confusing). I found this help page :http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/ which suggests i could and worked through the process. The result can be seen on my blog page, loggroup. When I have followed the steps under Moving from WordPress.org the file uploaded but does not have the original theme (i know this was not a theme available on wordpress.com).

    I have not been able to carry out this step: 2. After you upload the file, you can choose the option to Download & import file attachments if you want to move your media files. because there are no instructions on how to do it.

    Firstly, is it really possible to do what I am trying to do and, secondly, if so, what am i doing wrong?

    I’m not sure if I have written this very clearly so feel free to clarify points with me, thanks.
