  I would like to transfer/move only my wordpress.com blog posts and comments and subscribers to my current already existing new selg hosted website http://www.beyogabelove.com The entire site is already built and I have been pointing the BLOG Page to my old wordpress.com blog but would like to transfer all my posts to my BLOG Page and redirect my subscribers to my new site.
  I want to make sure that ONLY BLOG POSTS transfer to existing BLOG PAGE and that the transfer does not affect my new site in any way.

  I will also need to transfer my subscribers and followers to my new site.

  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 you post the relevant URL(s) into a forum thread, Staff will do the transfer of both subscribers and stats for you. Do that now please as I have tagged this thread for their attention.

  I do NOT want to transfer all content. ONLY BLOG POSTS because i have already built out my site. Is this possible?

  You can choose to export *just* posts if you wish.

  As far as transferring followers goes, you can do that yourself with a new tool:

  Thanks Jackie, will there be an option to move the posts to the BLOG page on my site? I want to make sure the information gets transferred to the right page.

  If you only import blog posts, they automatically go to the designated blog post page.

  One more question, will the stats transfer to my new website as well? I do not wish to lose my stats since I have spent two years building followers. Is there a way to transfer the stats as well?

  I can transfer your stats for you. To confirm, you want the stats transferred from beyogabelove.wordpress.com to http://www.beyogabelove.com?

  Yes, but I would like some time to notify my subscribers that i am moving my blog over to my website first, by July 1st, so can I contact you at the end of the month to do that?

  Thanks so much for all your help Jackie. It has been challenging planning to make the blog move for fear of losing subscribers and stats.
