  I had an exciting blog on wordpress.com that has been running for months and has a ton of content. I recently just downloaded wordpress 4.0 from wordpress.org. When I run wordpress 4.0 it made me create a new username and password and wouldn’t take my existing log in information from wordpress.com. Now I want to merge my existing site or simply login to my existing site from wordpress 4.0 and I am not sure how to do that.

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

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:
