  Hi there,

  You can Export you content by going to Tools > Export in your Dashboard. Take a look at the link above for more information.

  In addition, 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:

  If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  Hi there,

  Please note that it wouldn’t be possible to do that as WordPress.com themes are not transferable. However, we do have WordPress.org versions of many WordPress.com themes. I see that you added the Twenty Eleven theme. We have a WordPress.org version that can be found here:

  Twenty Eleven

  Cheers!
