  current site is hosted at WordPress.com and the twitter follow buttons work:
  iawrestle.com

  We exported the posts and imported into iawrestle.org (hosted at GoDaddy) and the Twitter follow shortcode displays the shortcode rather than the Twitter follow buttons.

  What is missing?

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

  Hi there,

  The version of WordPress used for self-hosted sites (such as your site hosted at GoDaddy) is from WordPress.org, and it’s a bit different from what you get here at WordPress.com. In this case, some of the features like the Twitter follow button shortcode that are built in to WordPress.com may not already be set up on your self-hosted site. (You can learn more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org if you’re curious about that.)

  The best place to get help with your self-hosted WordPress site is in the WordPress.org forums, since the support staff here at WordPress.com don’t have the tools and access to help with sites that aren’t hosted at WordPress.com. You can also search the WordPress.org plugins for specific features like that Twitter follow button you want to add to your site:

  I hope this helps! :)
