Wamp is completely configured and the site is running just fine on localhost, now i created a blog on wordpress to go online , i used export option from tools menu in the dashboard and found that it exported a xml file.then i imported the data into the online account of mine , it seems to copy all the pages and articles etc. but the pictures and the custom themes and the custom widgets i used on my localhost are not uploaded… kindly help me and tell me how to move my existing modified theme, images , widgets and used plugins to the online account….

Hi!
you need a SmartFTP Client or any other FTP client.
log in to your acc. and upload all the files from www(www in your WAMP) to host
then change wp-config setings …

If you’re asking about this site …. url: http://19amsrit.wordpress.com/ , there is no FTP access to it.

You can’t use modified themes and widgets on a free wordpress.com site. Also, see here.

You can’t do your own theme – you can’t hack code here – Export / Import only brings text – the pictures only come when any WordPress site (.COM or .ORG install) can see the site the pictures are coming from.

You need to ask over at WordPress.ORG about moving a local host install but I think it takes moving files and database records that can’t be done here at WordPress.COM

okay so, now if i dont want to buy a new domain for this as i am still developing, so is there any way to use my custom themes and content created in wordpress to use elsewhere like another hosting website(free ones) , i mean i can’t just copy the folder of the theme as it got all the functions and modules seperately and as i have lots and lots of themes and plugins installed in my wordpress localhoost folder so its not easy for me to upload the complete folder up there…..
