  Hello – we have 689 subscribers to our blog, http://mindinthebutter.com/ – we are moving this to a self-hosted WP installation. Is there any way to move the e-mail subscribers to our self-hosted installation? We have already done the export/import successfully.

  What is required to manage the subscribers on our end? Do we need a plugin?

  Thanks!

  I can help you with that. You will need to get jetpack installed and connected on your new site first:

  Thanks – we’ve installed jetpack on mindinthebutter.com and linked it to our WordPress.com account…what do we do next?

  Thanks!

  The subscribers have been moved as requested. This is what we transferred:

  WP.com Subscribers: 66
  EMail Subscribers: 23

  The amount of followers mentioned in your Follow Blog Widget includes followers from Facebook and Twitter, which means these are attached to those profiles and not part of WordPress.com.
