WP.com vs. WP.org
-
It sounds like if I have my own domain and hosting, I will use WP.org vs. WP.com? Can I develop the site/pay for themes in WP.org or can you only develop a site/pay for themes in WP.com and then you have to transfer over to WP.org?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes, if you want a site with Ecommerce capability then you need a WordPress.ORG site. You can develop such a site on WordPress.ORG software. You can also move your existing blog content and domain. The two flavors of WordPress are completely separate and have separate logins. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
To move your content you need to create an XML export file of your content. It will not include the theme as they cannot be exported. See 3 below.
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/
2. Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
http://wordpress.org/themes/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/3. Export your content out of your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and import it into the install.
4. Purchase a site redirect upgrade from wordpress.com
http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/ or if you have domain mapping then update the nameservers http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/5. Transfer subscribers and stats. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/
Alternatively you can purchase a Guided Transfer and Staff will do the move and set up for you http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/
