Blog I follow changed to their own URL and wordpress wont follow it?
-
I used to follow this user’s blog: http://readysetsimplify.wordpress.com/
In October they switched to their own URL of http://readysetsimplify.com/I have tried several times to update the URL in my following section, but even when I type in the http://readysetsimplify.com/ address, clicking on that link brings me to the http://readysetsimplify.wordpress.com/ address.
When http://readysetsimplify.wordpress.com/ is a blog I’m following, it will not let me add http://readysetsimplify.com/ as a second blog to follow- it says i am already following the blog. ARG!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Since it seems they’ve moved entirely off of WordPress.com to self-hosting, would there be a problem in deleting the current WordPress.com subscription from the blog’s you follow?
-
I have removed both blogs from my subscriptions, and then added back ONLY the http://readysetsimplify.com/ blog, but when I click on the link, it still directs me to the .wordpress.com blog. I don’t know what to do =(

Although the Support Doc on the Reader says that it’s possible to follow a blog that’s not hosted on WordPress.com, there’s definitely a problem there. I just tried to subscribe and ended up with the same result as you did.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ and give them all the info you gave in your first post in this thread.

WordPress.com subscriptions only work on non-WordPress.com blogs if they have Jetpack installed.
In this case, the blog does not have Jetpack installed, and they appear to offer their own subscription options now: http://readysetsimplify.com/subscribe/

That’s an important bit of missing information, macmanx. Thanks for letting us know.
Perhaps it should be added to the relevant section in the Support Doc as well?
