  If I switch from wordpress.com to wordpress.org will I lose my content on my wordpress.com blog or my followers and will I still have my reader to see the blogs I already follow on wordpress,com?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  When you export you move a copy of your content into a WordPress.ORG install you can have Staff move your subscribers and stats for you, after you install and activate the JetPack plugin on the new install. See:

  No. WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/WordPress.COM has shared features like the Reader. WordPress.ORG blags are stand alone islands.

  The WordPress.COM Reader is for free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and those are the only blogs that published posts will be automatically posted into the WordPress.COM Reader from.

  Yes you will still have a username account here and can still log in and use the Reader.
