• Ok. It would be more impossible for me to be thoroughly confused…

    I have had a wordpress blog, hosted on wordpress.com.
    I wanted a domain and hosting so I could add plug-ins.
    I purchased a domain and hosting and no longer understand anything.

    How can I get/move the blog I already have, to the new host under the domain name? My host says I need to get a MySQL package from WordPress. ww.wp.xz.cn or WordPress.com? I try to log in to WordPress.com, but my UN & PW don;t work. Then I use the new admin ones, but they don’t work on this forum. I try searching through the forums and can’t find any relevant information, other than a post that suggests I can’t (easily) use a theme I have been using on WordPress.com over at ww.wp.xz.cn. So if I can’t use anything from WordPress, .com or .org, why do I have anything to do with it or need to log into any control panels? It doesn’t help at all that it seems that WordPress also does hosting? So when I search for answers I have NO idea if they are talking about when they are hosting or a third party.

    This is ungodly frustrating…
    Looking at the homepages of WordPress.com and ww.wp.xz.cn there is not something remotely simplifying or clearing up and possible confusion.

    Please, please, help.

    It worked!!!
    Part of my confusion is understanding, or confusing, when and where I log into or use the host control panel, versus WordPress.com control panel.

    That was major.
    I am going to give the themes and widgets a try now.

    Joni, again, thank you. I was so overwhelmed and frustrated and I appreciate you taking the time to help me. Thank you, thank you.
    If I need any more help with the theme or widgets, I may call on you again.

    No problem. 🙂

    Small error with there being two “About” links, but all things considered.

    Again, Joni…
    Thank you.
