Try contacting the original theme designer and see if they have some sort of "move to .ORG special"

motre,
I want to transfer to Bluehost so i can sell advertising space. as far as I know if I did have my own doamin name here on wordpress, i still could not have advertising as long as it is hosted on their servers?

I purchased my own domain so I could sell advertising.

Means you need to move to a WordPress.ORG install since you can't sell ads here.

Is it your intention to run your blog at Bluehost, or at WordPress.COM? You have a nice looking blog here already. Why not just host the domain here, too?

All i want to do is take the wordpress site and make it http://www.mysocialmobilemedia,com. like I said all of the posts, categories and tags converted over, the theme did not. Theres some crappy looking theme there now. I'm playing around with it right now.

All of the posts and comments transferred OK. How do I accomplish this? Since there is no contact number for WordPress this support group is my only option. Can't someone at WordPress just get me the theme files that the Hosting service needs?

On the other hand, I purchased my own domain so I could sell advertising. If I just map to the existing domain mysocialmobilemedia.wordpress.com and call it http://blog.mysocialmobilemedia.com, is this feasible? I spent allot of time not to mention money to throw the design away and start over.
