  Hi,

  If I change my blog URL, will I automatically lose followers who have signed up to my blog via email subscription???

  Thanks for your help!

  I’m trying to change my URL for the past two days and it says the feature is not available – have you been able to change yours?

  @nigelgeoghegan
  This is the result of clicking your username link.

  nigelgeoghegan.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this blog.

  Please post an active link starting with http:// to the blog in question.

  WordPress.com subscriptions are not transferrable. Feedburner subscriptions are. Which are you referring to please?

  Also all WordPress.com blogs are on .wordpress.com sub-domains.
  When you ask about changing a URL are you referring to another .wordpress.com sub-domain?
  Or are you referring to actually purchasing your own domain and domain mapping from a root .wordpress.com sub-domain to the domain?

  Hi,

  Sorry it would be for this blog – http://raskolnikovandmadamebovary.wordpress.com/

  I think the URL is too long

  Not to worry. :) Volunteers cannot delete comments – only Moderators and Staff can.

  Oh and it would be to another wordpress.com site, so the answer is subscribers are not transferable. That’s ok, I’ve just started so I’ll my email my followers.

  Thanks.
