  I would like to know if I get a ‘personal plan’ upgrade, do I get the possibility to install and use my new custom domain name with wordpress.org (instead of wordpress.com)?
  I could only find that to use wordpress.org I need a custom domain name hosted by Bluehost (for example), though I would prefer to use the wordpress plan (since I don’t need email address with my domain name) and still be able to use wordpress.org.

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

  Aloha myjourneysletters, You will not be able to use the personal plan with a WordPress.org account. For that, you would need a separate hosting account from another provider.
