What I like about Wordpress.com is knowing should the worst happen to me then for a long time my blog will still be available for others to remember me by lol. So no, you lose nothing as Teli confirmed. Teli beat me to answer your question,

I've looked at a zillion themes and I can't find another that I like as well.

I successfully moved my posts to an alternative domain host but when I try to configure the widgets, it says that the theme I use (benevolence) doesn't take widgets. All attempts to upload a new version of the theme have been unsuccessful. So is there a way to actually move the whole blog (theme, widgets and all) or am I destined to recreate using another theme?
