  I have a wordpress.com blog which I want to transfer to a wordpress.org blog to have more control. I bought the domain (www.katanabattlegirls.com) and contracted hosting services with bluehost. However now I have no idea what to do. From the host admin cpanel I install wordpress using my website address as domain, however nothing else happens and from that point I don’t know how to proceed.
  Could anyone give me a hint?
  Thanks

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

  PS – you will probably need to set “Primary” blog back to http://katanabattlegirls.wordpress.com/ long enough to get the export / import to work ( the importer needs to be able to see the blog content on the internet, if Primary is set to katanabattlegirls.com. the importer will see your new empty blog at BlueHost
