  Hi, just registered with bluehost but i can’t seem to access the new wordpress.org admin page as I have been redirected to the old wordpress.com. Is this because I havent directed the name servers to bluehost? If so, how do I go about doing it?

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

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
  http://wordpress.org/themes/
  http://wordpress.org/plugins/

  To move your content you need to create an XML export file of your content. It will not include the theme as they cannot be exported.

  To update the name servers see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/#change-name-servers-to-point-the-domain-outside-of-wordpress-com

  Transfer subscribers https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/migrating-wordpresscom-followers-to-new-self-hosted-site?replies=1

  Set your wordpress.com blog visibility to private. To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  Alternatively you can purchase a Guided Transfer and Staff will do the move and set up for you http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/

  NOTE: WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
