 * Hello
    Going to start switching my blog from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. 
   Is there a certain amount of time I should allot for the switchover? Didn’t necessarily
   want to have my site down for an extended period of time and was curious if I
   could work on the .org site while the .com site was still active?

 * Hi jklmd2002,
 * Check [moving to a self hosted wordpress site.](http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site)
   I guess that’s what you’re looking for.
 * Cheers.
