  I am a new coupon blogger. As my followers began to grow, I applied to a few affiliate sites. When I tried to apply the widgets I was unable to. A fellow blogger explained to me that I needed to be on wordpress.org instead of wordpress.com. Now that I look into it, it makes sense. What I am wondering now, is can I download the .org wordpress and transfer my current blog with my followers or will I have to totally recreate my blog on .org?

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

  You will have to completely recreate your blog at .org, but the contents, ie posts, can be exported. Just go to Tools->Export and at your new blog, once you’ve gotten hosting, go to Tools->Import.
