  I followed every instruction I could online to try to transfer to from a wordpress.com to wordpress.org. I’m hosted with Blue Host now and still no option for plugins. I also tried to have a youtube video show up in a post, but it just shows the link when I pasted the url into the correct field.
  Blog url: http://stanfordsportsreport.wordpress.com/

  http://stanfordsportsreport.com/ is still directed at your WordPress.com blog.

  You’ll need to update your nameservers to point to Bluehost in order to use your installation of WordPress there.

  You can do that following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers

  Great, thanks.

  Do I need to change the field in Nameserver 1: and Nameserver 2: or will using what it defaults as work?

  If I need to change, how does that work?

  You’ll need to change the fields to the nameservers that Bluehost provides.
