  Hi,

  I have set up my blog using wordpress.com and would like to upload a custom theme. I believe using wordpress.org is the easiest way of doing this.

  Is it possible to switch over easily? If so will i have to reset users and add content again?

  Thanks!

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

  You cannot upload a theme in wordpress.com blog

  You can export your wodpress.com blog in the wordpress XML file and then import it in any wordpress CMS system.

  This will restore the posts, comments, tags, categories.
  Read : http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ for details
  I cannot tell if the user accounts will be transferred or not
