Switch from WordPress.com to WordPress.org
-
Yesterday I used Bluehost as a means to switch my blog from WordPress.com to WordPress.org in order to increase the formatting options available to me. I received notification from WordPress.com that the import process was successful, but my site still seems to be linked to WordPress.com; hence, plugins and other formatting features remain unavailable. When will it begin to display as WordPress.org, making features available?
Secondly, I am less than a month out from having to renew my domain name with WordPress.com. Now that Bluehost is hosting the site and made it possible for me to port my domain name, I shouldn’t have to pay the renewal fee to WordPress.com, right?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

According to the whois, your domain is still using WordPress.com nameservers. Get the new nameserver info from Bluehost and then follow these instructions to activate them on your domain: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/
To continue using your domain you need to keep the registration current. You can either pay WordPress.com to renew it or transfer the domain to another registrar (probably Bluehost) and pay them the renewal fee.
