  I’m changing the name of my blog and still want people who get email updates to receive them. Does Site Redirect do that?

  Have you recently changed your blog address and need to redirect traffic to the new name? The Site Redirect upgrade lets you do just that — and managing the redirect couldn’t be easier. http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/

  When you purchase a site redirect you are purchasing aseamless redirection when anyone clicks on the former URL to the new URLs anywhere on the interent. That’s what the reference to “traffic” is all about. There is nothing stated there about transfering followers, so what I would do is publish a post and let my readers know that they need to click the “follow” button again.
