 * Hi there, I’m going to be attempting a football club website through WordPress.
   org. I already have some templates bought through Elegant Themes and was keen
   to get started. I don’t have registration details just yet, but can I use paid
   themes on the WordPress.com site and how do you upgrade to WordPress.org and 
   update the domain from that side? Cheers.

 * Well, you sort of can use paid themes on wordpress.com: [http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/)
   🙂
    But, no, themes are not transferable from .com to .org
