Try this:
http://runningthroughrain.wordpress.com/2007/07/15/social-bookmarking-links/

You can use your unique domain name here if you purchase the upgrade.

If you go to WP.org, realize that you are ON YOUR OWN. That's why WP.com exists: to offer more support for those for whom the technical tasks of an independently-hosted website are too challenging.

I would like to switch to wordpress.org, and download the software, but I've no idea how to do it and even though I consider myself quite a technical person, it all sounds completely foreign to me. Blogger allowed me to add as many buttons, ads as I wanted quite easily, but wordpress.com won't allow it. I wan't to stick with wordpress coz I like the look better, I just need to switch to using the downloadable software.

I've tried using the step by step guides etc, but I'm still baffled. I purchased the web domain http://www.celebutardonline.com via wordpress.com, so they should allow me to switch right?

Can any kind soul give me the most basic info on how to go about doing this?
