Before my first posts I'd like to make sure that one day I could seamlessly and smoothly export all my blog content without damage onto either self-hosted site or somewhere else like blogspot.com. If that's feasible, it'll be great !
The blog I need help with is magicznagdynia.wordpress.com.
Read this page:
Fine, so I can export my blog but if I want to preserve my photo and other media untouched, it's suggested that ONLY the newest wordpress.org can handle it.... A bit risky....
Not accurate. You can use any version of WP.org software you like, but older versions are insecure.
So, with the recent WP.org updates I can sit back and start blogging with WP.com and anytime I feel like moving to the self-hosted version, I can transfer my blog structure and content, together with undamaged media safely. Do I get things right ? :)
Yes. When you do decide to move your content this is what the DIY move consists of http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/08/31/moving-your-blog-from-wordpress-com-to-wordpress-org-resources-and-tips/
Mostly right
Content yes - (not sure that unattached media (pictures etc) that are not used in a Post or Page will also transfer so you might need to move some things manually - all of your Posts and Pages will transfer just fine
structure maybe - depends on the Theme and if it is available outside WordPress.COM - themes here are modified here and you have a lot of Widgets here and no Plug-in's
Note that the themes and any customization you may have done, are NOT portable, although many themes have WP.org versions available.
