Switch from WordPress.com to .org
-
Based on the advice I got the other day from some of you, I’ve decided to get my blog hosted on Blue Host and am trying to switch over to WordPress.org. However, I am so clueless on how do do the transfer of the content on my blog. Bluehost said I need to download a backup database of my content on here to my desktop and then upload it to .org, but I can’t figure out how to get to that backup. Does anyone know, or know of any other ways to do that? My domain name has already been transfered (babyrabies.com), but all it’s bringing up is a blank blog right now. Thanks for helping a clueless gal out!

We don’t have database access here. What you need to do is log in to your wordpress.com blog, go to Manage–>Export, and save the export file to your hard drive. Then, upload the file to your new Bluehost blog and import it using the ‘import from wordpress’ option. Hope that helps.
