  Hello there,
  Your site http://www.vintageandpearls.com is a WordPress.org site. Please post your question to their support forum.

  http://wordpress.org/support/

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely different animals.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  I hope this helps! Good luck! =)

  Provided you have installed and activated the JetPack plugin http://jetpack.me on your WordPress.org install, and you post the relevant URL(s) into a forum thread, Staff will do the transfer of both subscribers and stats for you. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/#wordpress-com-to-self-hosted-site Do that now please as I have tagged this thread for their attention.

  We all make mistakes when we first begin anything. You learn well from correction so don’t feel down, okay. Dust yourself off, bookmark the link and come back later. :)

  Thanks (again) for the pointers and for the pep talk. I’m taking notes from you (and others) I go through this journey. You haven’t seen the last of me. I WILL get this……hopefully sooner than later. =)

  Cheers!

  What’s best is to steer clear of any threads dealing with $ issues re: upgrades or domains. Let us experienced Volunteers answer those please.
