  Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

  You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and navigate to Tools.

  Dashboard > Tools > Export

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=export-choices

  *You will have to replace NAME_OF_BLOG with the actual name of your blog in that URL.
