I am very new to wordpress and just discovered that I cannot use plugins with a wordpress.com domain name which i already paid for. So, i would like to switch to a wordpress.org domain name to use plugins but keep all my content. How do I do this?
The blog I need help with is magthoughts.wordpress.com.

Note that the Guided Transfer discussed is a 'for cost' option and is not necessary if you can handle the task(s) yourself.
KEEP the domain name,just change where it points.
Export your existing content, buy paid hosting, install software from WordPress.org, and Import the content. Carry on from there.
