  Hello,

  I signed up for wordpress.com. Looks like what I really wanted was wordpress.org. Any idea how to go about switching over without losing everything?

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

  Sure. You can hire a web host, set up a WordPress.org install and export your content and links out of your WordPress.com blog and then import it into your WordPress.org install. moving to wordpress.org
  Links must be exported and imported in a separate file.

  Yes! Read this article for info on how to migrate to WordPress.org.
