WordPress.com does not provide any upgrades that provide you with WordPress.org features on a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

You go here http://wordpress.org and on the top right hand corner of the page you register a wordpress.org username account so you can post to their forums.

I can't even see a place to signup or login for .org? Clearly I am not the only one confused by the .com and .org as I have read many many forums where people are having difficulty.

Setting all the 'awesomeness" of WordPress.com aside, it's of critical importance that new bloggers here understand that WordPress.com is in the business of selling upgrades. One needs to read the advertising jargon and comprehend that is no different than the advertising we mute on TV screens or toss into the recycle box when it's in printed form.

No bundle of upgrades makes anyone a "pro" blogger and every day now we Volunteers are experiencing bloggers who are not astute when it comes to being able to see through advertising jargon.

Sadly, you did not understand that WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ There's nothing that can be done for you now. :(

WordPress.org has a few recommendations for hosting at http://wordpress.org/hosting/ but most the big guys all support WordPress and many offer "1 click" installation.
