  Hi there,
  Staff can can move your email subscribers only. Followers using the WordPress.com Reader cannot be transferred because there is no WordPress.org Reader or in fact a community with shared in-house features like there is here at WordPress.com.

  What’s required is:
  installation and activation of the JetPack plugin;
  posting both URLs for the underlying .wordpress.com blog and the domain into this forum thread;
  tagging the thread with modlook in the sidebar;
  subscribing to the thread so you are notified when Staff make the transfer.

  Thanks for you help! Here’s the requested info:

  JetPack is installed– are there any specific settings that need to be set?
