 * I have a wordpress.com blog that I was thinking of converting to wordpress.org.
   I did a search for instructions as to how to do this, and came across this forum
   topic: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/switch-from-wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg?replies=12](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/switch-from-wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg?replies=12)
 * but because it is 4 years old, I didn’t know if it was still accurate as to how
   the process works now. I would also like to be able to work on the wordpress.
   org blog and perfect it before launching it. So I would like my website address
   to still point to my wordpress.com blog until I am ready to launch the wordpress.
   org blog. Is that possible? And will I be able to carry over my CSS customizations
   from my wordpress.com blog over to my wordpress.org blog?
 * Thanks You!
