 * I set up my blog though wordpress.com after realizing that I did not like the
   look of templets I decided I wanted to switch over to wordpress.org. I got hosting
   at hostgator for my url that I bought on wordpress.com I bought a theme at themetrust.
   com. I installed wordpress on hostgator and then uploaded the theme into the 
   the theme folder using hostgators file manager.
 * Now I can’t find the theme. I assumed it is because I have not properly transferred
   my site to wordpress.org? How do I do this? My current site on wordpress.com 
   dosent have any content so I don’t need to transfer any content I just need it
   to be a wordpress.org site.
 * Also, it gave me “[http://joeyhead.com/wp-admin&#8221](http://joeyhead.com/wp-admin&#8221);
   to log in but when I got to that link it just redirects me to “[http://joeyhead.wordpress.com/wp-admin/&#8221](http://joeyhead.wordpress.com/wp-admin/&#8221);
