  Hi there,

  You’ll need to install the Jetpack plugin on your .org blog, then ask here in the forums for a Happiness Engineer to transfer your subscribers. That’s it! :)

  Hi Coffeemanmatt,

  Jetpack now installed, can you now transfer the subscribers from pbwimages.wordpress.com to pbwimages.com ?

  Once transfered should I delete my .com blog ?

  Many thanks

  Paul

  I would not delete the .wordpress.com blog. i would make it private and use it to backup my content in my self-hosted install.

  Hi,

  I’ve transferred the email subscribers as you’ve requested.

  How do I do that thistimethisspace?

  In your WordPress.com blog, you can go to Settings -> Reading to mark your blog (site visibility) as Private.
