 * Hi ericamarley,
    Wordpress.com and wordpress.org are very different. If you have
   a website on wordpress.com then you would have chosen your template and then 
   populated that with content. Wordpress.org is a portal for WordPress users and
   developers where you can view Themes and Plugins that you can download to your
   computer and then upload to your website hosting account. What you will need 
   to do is to purchase a hosting service (there are many). Check first whether 
   they can do a one click install for WordPress. Get the FTP details of your new
   website hosting account and then upload your WordPress theme of choice to the
   directory – ‘Content/themes’ With WordPress installed it already comes with two
   themes. I do hope this helps. There are may excellent instructions on how to 
   do this on the web. Google ‘installing WordPress and themes. Cheers Jerry
