How do I have traffic that goes to a link from an old blog post forward to the exact same post that is not hosted on GoDaddy?
Can i be that specific?
old site:
http://nutbucketfilms.wordpress.com/
new site:
http://nutbucketfilms.com (not live yet) still waiting for it to quit forwarding.
You could create a 301 redirect in your.htaccess file or you could use a redirection plugin.

i am not programming savvy. what is easiest?
I wouldn't say either were easy. In both cases, unless you intend to specify every single redirection, you need to have a good knowledge of regular expressions.

these directions?
No - that's for using your own domain name with a wordpress.com site.

is there a way to redirect all posts to the new site hosted at http://www.nutbucketfilms.com
?
so i don't have to go into each one?
You could redirect the whole site using a 301 redirect in your.htaccess file.

how do i do that?
Which is all of this:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.nutbucketfilms.com/$1 [R=301,L]Assuming olddomain.com/pagename == newdomain.com/pagename of course.

is there phone support for this? i don't seem to be able to get the help i need here.
Sorry - no. WordPress is free software and this, volunteer-based forum is the only direct support.
You put that in your .htaccess file on old domain. Make it the first line and it'll sort everything.

where is ".htaccess file"? I am not super savvy with code. Make it the first line of what? the rewrite rule above?
sorry. details would help me out tremendously.
You could try using Google yourself.

lijesarki - Look up what .htaccess is in Google, and how to edit if. if that STILL is beyond you, and it's totally okay that it is, you will need to either ask your webhost to help you, or hire someone.

The site I am redirecting is a wordpress hosted site. There is no place to write FTP. If there is what section of my dashboard do I write this 301 redirect? It is a wordpress.com hosted blog that I need to redirect to the new godaddy hosted site.
You need to ask about this on http://en.forums.wordpress.com/
I'm a moron :) You want this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/

i tried that. it only redirects the main page. if you try to go to a specific archived entry it doesn't redirtect. it says the page no longer exists. i want every address from my old blog to redirect. not even sure if that is possible.
You'll have to ask at the URL esmi provided. WordPress.com is a lot more locked down than self hosting.
You must log in to post.
