  I assume I can transfer my current .com wordpress blog to a new self-hosted .org wordpress blog. Is this the case?

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

  Do you want to just have your own domain name so that you can have something like:

  kapitalcon.com or whatever you want

  If so then this link is for you:

  If you want custom design then this link is for you:

  This should get you started.

  Here is an article about moving your blog from wp.com to wp.org:

  You can pay for a “Guided Transfer” or do it yourself.
