  Do I have to set up a new wordpress.com blog site to use videopress on my wordpress.org site? That is what it seems that it wants me to do.

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

  Yes, VideoPress uses a WordPress.com blog as storage for the videos, so you’ll need to register for one to purchase VideoPress.

  What is the relationship between the WP.com blog for VideoPress and my own site? How are they connected? Will I be able to use VideoPress on only that site?

  The videos are uploaded and hosted via the WordPress.com blog’s file system. You’re then given an embed code which you can use anywhere, including your WordPress.org blog.

  Can I set the WP.com site to be a behind-the-scenes resource that is otherwise dark on the Internet?

  Exactly, that’s pretty much how it will work. You can even make the WordPress.com blog completely private.
