  Changed my blog but I want to be sure to keep my current email subscribers and WordPress followers. How can I take them with me?

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

  Provided you have installed and activated the JetPack plugin http://jetpack.me on your WordPress.org install, and post the relevant URL(s) into this thread, Staff will do the transfer of both subscribers and stats for you. I tagged this thread for their attention.

  I am doing a Bluehost site, so it isn’t exactly a WordPress upgrade, although it is uses WordPress. I’ll check out the Jetpack plugin and see if there’s anything else from my end that needs to be done (that I can think of). Thanks for helping me with this!

  You have multiple WordPress.com sites. Which one are you looking to transfer followers for?
