Apologize for wrong reply earlier

Yes, you can migrate/transfer your wordpress.com blog to self-hosted wordpress.org blog.

Here are some resources available;

Yes there is a way.

You have to "Export" what you currently have on WP.com (Your free blog site), this file will contain your whole site.
Register a domain, (I like namecheap)
Sign Up for a hosting, (I like hostgator)
Once you have gotten your hosting, install Word Press
Once you have installed WP, "Import" into Wordpress the file you "Exported" from your free blog.

Hope this helps, best of luck.

I'm not affiliated with any of the mentioned sites, I just personally use them. I like them and find them better then other places.

You can not use WP plug ins on your free blog.

You're not able to use plugins at all on your free blog.

You won't be able to use your own domain on your free blog unless you pay for the "Domain Mapping"
I think it's like $13 a year or something like that.

You also won't be able to use premium themes.
Unless you pay for an addition package.

Overall, I think it's worth just hosting it yourself.

My whole first year of marketing I used the free blog with domain mapping. So basically all my expenses were $13 + domain fees.
I was able to make my site look good because I know a little bit of design.

Self-hosting sites is a lot more flexible, requires some more responsibility, the additional charges are not so much.
