    I have been through alot of stress trying to make my new WordPress.com site user friendly and personal, even with the upgrade I cannot make it my own since I just found out I can not upload my own theme. Is there an easy way to switch over my blog or at least my domain names to a WordPress.org site? Please give me step by step directions.

    Thanks! Leah

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

    You can point the domain you registered at WordPress.com to another server (hosting service), with these steps:

    Change a Domain’s Name Servers

    You’ll need to obtain the name server values from your current host. You should be able to find them on their support documentation, or contact them and ask for the information. (Name servers may be referred as “nameservers” or “NS records” instead.)

    This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

    As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site–including the importing of the file–must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

    If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:
