Even though the page that directed me to "manage" had plenty of posts on it.
That's why when I create the file to import posts from to my new blogsite, there's nothing in it.

You have to do the exporting in the dashboard of the wordpress.com blog and the importing in the new one. You have around 30 posts, so it should be a little bit more than 3 kb. If you did everything correctly but still have problems then contact support: http://wordpress.com/contact-support/

To import from a WordPress export file into a WordPress blog follow these steps.
1. Log into that blog as an administrator.
2. Go to Manage: Import in the blog's admin panels.
3. Choose "WordPress" from the list.
4. Upload this file using the form provided on that page.
5. You will first be asked to map the authors in this export file to users on the blog. For each author, you may choose to map to an existing user on the blog or to create a new user
6. WordPress will then import each of the posts, comments, and categories contained in this file into your blog

(see: http://wordpress.org/download/)
Then I would look for a nice theme and adjust is to suit my needs.
After that, I would go to my wordpress.com blog under Manage > Export and export my contents. Then I would import them in my brand new blog, move all my images, repair the broken links and import my blogroll from the wordpress.com blog.
