  Hi,

  I am very green to WordPress.com. I used wordpress.com in order to buy my domain name only to find out later that I should’ve used wordpress.org (I want to use a theme that I have purchased). Since I have recently purchased the domain name, do I have to wait the 30 days before switching over to wordpress.org? Please help.

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

  WordPress.ORG is not a host, they are the keepers of the WordPress.ORG software. If you registered your name with WordPress.COM then you need to get a host for your blog, install the WordPress.ORG software, set your new blog up then point the name servers for your name to your new host.
