    No - he/she is not at the wrong site. Read it again.

    Have a look at this:

    You may also need to install a plugin from Technosailor.

    Use the export feature on your WP.com blog then use the plugin to import it. I used it about a week ago with no problems. The only down side is anything in your sidebar (lonks etc) will have to be recreated in your WP.org blog.

    A small price to gain all the options available with your own hosted blog.

    Marc nailed it. That plugin is really the way to go for moving from a WP.COM hosted blog to your own hosted blog.

    My import was to a newly loaded version 2.0.5.

    It successfully loaded all my posts and comments.

    The plugin is no longer needed.
    The export needs 3 steps.
    1. Export the data as xml then import to new db.
    2. Import blogroll links direct from new dashboard.
    3. Transfer images or write a bash script to do it :)
