  I am considering upgrading my blog to a .com site. If I do this, will I retain access to WP themes, wigets etc. Also, will I then be able to import widgets that WP doesn’t support now.

  If you register a domain it will replace your WordPress.com address with the .com, .net or .org domain you registered. It won’t add any additional features.

  There are no restrictions if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities. We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested.
