    Several questions here - Don't worry about your domain name - once you get your new .ORG site set up you can point the domain at WordPress.COM (render3dimage.com) to the name-servers at your new host -

    WordPress.ORG is just the keepers of the software that you will be installing and using at your new host.

    WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you will be using: http://wordpress.org/support/

    For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    timethief has some good guidelines on how to do the change: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/

    sorry I don't have the link to the Post.

    Just a comment: You can pay to edit your css here in wordpress.com to get a custom theme. I signed up two days ago.

    Well, not really, no. You can fiddle with themes and change the look of the blog, but not install new themes designed by other people.

    You also cannot edit the underlying theme files, just the existing CSS stylesheet.
