 * I previously operated Gustafun.com off of WordPress.com, but I just recently 
   bought my own domain hosting and now I want to switch to WordPress.org. I’m hosting
   through BlueHost, I’ve got WordPress installed there, but how do I get everything
   up and running?
 * Thanks!

 * Is it possible to operate Gustfaun.com with WordPress.org if I’ve been operating
   it with WordPress.com?

 * If you already have wordpress installed on your host, it looks like all you have
   left to do is import the wordpress.com database and upload a new theme or some
   plugins if you would like to. To import your database, in your wordpress.com 
   site just go to Manage -> Export and export the database. To import the database,
   in your own wordpress go to Manage -> Import -> WordPress and import your database.
   If your database is over 2M large you will need to increase the upload_max_filesize
   in your php.ini file.

 * Okay, sounds good. But how do I log into my own wordpress? When I go to Gustafun.
   com/wp-admin, it takes me to the WordPress.com login screen. Is there a way of
   getting onto the WordPress.org login?

 * I just visited your wp-admin and it takes you to your own admin login section,
   which is the correct place. It looks the same as logging into wordpress.com did,
   but it is not the same. The important thing is the URL which you are visiting.

 * Hm, okay. I used SimpleScripts through BlueHost to install WordPress, but the
   username and password it’s giving me don’t work. Is it possible I just need to
   wait a day or two?

 * No, you shouldn’t have to wait for that. See [Resetting Your Password](http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password)
   and change your password to a know value. Typically, WordPress installs one user,
   Username = admin.
