  How do you transfer WordPress.com followers to a self-hosted wordpress site? I just moved my domain to a new self-hosted WordPress install and have installed the Jetpack plugin. Can someone at WordPress.com transfer my WordPress.com “followers” over to my new self-hosted WordPress?

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

  Hi there,

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

  Hi there, I transferred your followers to your new self-hosted WordPress.org site, as requested.

  Your email followers will continue to receive email updates, and your WordPress.com followers will continue to see your new posts in the Reader. If your WordPress.com followers would like to receive email updates, as well, they can subscribe via email on your new blog.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that!
