  Hello. Apparently I accidentally signed up here on wordpress.com when I meant to use wordpress.org. My .org account is now open, so should I delete my account on .com or is there a different option I should choose? I just want to make sure I don’t screw up anything, especially my domain. Thanks!

  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  If you wish to use the Jetpack plugin to manage your site from this account and to take advantage of the useful Jetpack features not easily available otherwise then you do need to keep this account active.
  If you don’t want Jetpack and think you can manage without it then by all means close this account.

  Thanks, but I don’t really understand the whole Jetpack thing. I just know that my URL is associated with WordPress.com and I need it to be on WordPress.org. I don’t understand if closing this account will free up my URL so I can switch it over or if that will mess things up further. (Or if there’s something else I can do to free up the URL.)

  I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean about freeing up the URL. Your new Bluehost site http://accessibleorganizing.com/ is online and if you visit when not logged in you’ll see the message at the bottom that you can log in either via Bluehost or WordPress.
