  Hello there!

  I have moved over all your WordPress.org (self-hosted) subscribers to your WordPress.com site as requested.

  You can view those followers here:
  https://wordpress.com/stats/69595128?from=wp-admin

  Simply scroll down the page until you see Followers.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!

  Thank you so much Thatrobyn,
  But I’m a bit confused. I have over 300 followers on the self hosted site and only 89 were transferred over. Am I missing something?

  Hey there!

  When I take a look at your site’s stats, I see 392.

  89 of those are WordPress.com followers.

  303 of them are email-only subscribers.

  I am wondering if perhaps you looked at your stats before they were completely updated after the migration? Could you take another look? If you’re still seeing fewer followers than expected….please take a screenshot, so I can view the issue as you’re seeing it. You can simply upload the screenshot to your Media Library, like any other image, and I’ll be able to access it from there.

  The page at the following link has some helpful tips for taking screenshots:

  Just let me know when there’s something I should look at.

  Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.
