  Please install and activate the JetPack plugin so Staff can do this for you. I tagged this thread for their assistance. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.

  Thanks timethief and kardotim for the help.

  How do I verify that my subscribers were transferred? Will it also appear in the blog homepage as in wordpress.com? :)

  1: Yes they will be notified.
  2: The like button is not yet available on self-hosted sites. Though we are aware of its popularity and it will high likely become part of Jetpack soon.

  Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.
