   Thanks for your hard work on the PDF! I am sure many people are going to benefit from your efforts

   Thanks Mark, we hope so too - it is too painful to do without someone holding your hand

   My hero!!! Thank you so very much…. Now, if I could only find a theme that will do all I want it to do, I would finish up the move over!

   I do have a question, however… Will the $10 need to be paid each year in order to keep forwarding the .com blog to your hosted blog?

   Hey Hawksdomain - as a matter of fact…

   Check out Dazzlin Donna’s list of non blog looking themes - some have a cost, some are free (read to the end).

   Good luck!

   I was looking into this and received this feedback from my site administrator…

   ” if you want to use your custom themes you would need to purchase the css options, and you can’t use your custom plugins.”

   Any advice here?

   I appreciate the effort but doesn’t this mean I’d be PAYING wordpress.com to NOT host my blog?

    This is great.

    I have my own domain name and my wordpress.com blog directs to this domain. I now want to be self-hosted.

    Does this mean that there is a stage I need to go through before importing to my host? Do I need to cancel the direct on my wordpress.com blog?

    I’m not sure this is the right place to post this, so will search too.

    thanks

    @ Steve - Good luck with the move.
    Really like your site - a suggestion - it is not obvious going from your blog to your Web site - the only way is via the “Send Me Business Cards” image which I didn’t use. In the end I just removed “blog.” from the URL. Maybe add it a link next to “Contact Bizcards” at the top of the page.
