Does it mean that I can now continue using my .com blog on WordPress.org and that my domain name from .com will now point to it the .org blog?

What is the difference between just changing nameservers and transferring domain registrars? In other words, do I have to transfer domain registrars? Sorry, I am so confused!

Thanks so much for any help, from anyone!

If you’ve registered your domain through WordPress.com and now want it to point to a blog or website hosted elsewhere then you can do this by updating the nameservers. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers
