  I am trying to set up a wordpress.org blog. I registered my domain name through wordpress and bought a host through Hostgator. I installed WordPress in my Hostgator site but still can’t seem to access plug-ins and such.
  Blog url: http://skylarstephendotcom.wordpress.com/

  You’ll need to install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ on your hosting provider.

  Then, direct your domain there by changing your nameservers: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers

  Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
