Hi,
I want to point my blog (.wordpress.com) to 000webhost.com’s (a free hosting site) nameservers. However wordpress doesn’t let me edit DNS when I go to Shopping>>Domains. How can I point my blog to 000webhost’s nameservers?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The top level domain here is http://wordpress.com
All free hosted WordPress.com blogs are on .wordpress.com sub-domains.If you want to set up a WordPress.ORG install WordPress.com then know the two are completely separate. WordPress.org 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.
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/
2. Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
http://wordpress.org/themes/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/3. Export your content out of your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and import it into the install.
4. Purchase a site redirect upgrade from wordpress.com
http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/ or if you have domain mapping then update the nameservers http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/5. Transfer subscribers and stats. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/
6. 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/

Alright…I was hoping not to have to purchase anything. So anyway my whole goal in the end was to have a server so I could install WordPress.org and use a couple of plugins (Youtube and Feedburner).
So is it possible, on wordpress.com, to simply have a Youtube subscribe button and a Feedburner button on a sidebar on my wordpress.com hosted site?
Thank you for your assistance. -
Sorry for a double post, but fyi…I wasn’t trying to have my own domain (mysite.com instead of mysite.wordpress.com). I’m fine with a subdomain for the near future.

Yes. You can place the code in a text widget in your sidebar use a text widget in your sidebar.
