  Sorry, there’s no editing capability it seems on this thread.
  I don’t need help with http://sandiegovideopros.wordpress.com.

  I just paid $99 for an upgrade, then I saw there is no way I can use the Yoast plug-in on the wordpress.com. Duh on my part. How can I transfer my blog to wordpress.org so I can use Yoast, and also use that $99 to self-host at wordpress.org???

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com does not offer the option to install third-party plugins. If you would like more control over plugins and the option to install your own, a WordPress.org setup would be the best solution for you.

  This page explains the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org in more detail if you’re interested:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  As for the Yoast plugin, I’m assuming you want to add it for SEO reasons? We have pretty good SEO at WordPress.com, which you can read about here:
