  I am so confused. I starting building my site on wordpress.com. After that I decided to use Bluehost to host my site, and did the one click install. What next? How do I get everything from wordpress to bluehost? Can I change the theme on bluehost? There seems to be a charge for every theme on Bluehost, wordpress had a lot of free theme. What is the difference between building the site on bluehost or building it on wordpress?

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

  Here’s how to export and import your blog content
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org The theme and the text widget content cannot be exported.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support forums http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
