  I was blogging from theknittygrittyuk.wordpress.com but just bought the domain name of theknittygrittyuk.com from wordpress but I understand Im still hosted by wordpress. I need to be self hosted to access my own DA numbers. How do I do this?

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

  We provide support here only for WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
  We do not provide support for WordPress.ORG software installs.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
  Resetting your WordPress.ORG password http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
