  I’d like to take my Feedburner subscriber list and move it all to my WordPress.com subscribers. Is there a way to do this?

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

  Hi. To my knowledge, there is no way.

  You can’t import a file into your dashboard. I simply copied and pasted my feedburner subscription box widget contents into another text widget on the blog I moved to.

  I would offer this on moving off of feedburner: If you could move all your subscribers over to the wordpress.COM subscriber feature, if you ever decided to move away from .COM, you would have a difficult time since few places, including wordpress.COM have an import feature. You can certainly export your subscribers here in the form of a CSV file, but getting them into someplace else will be problematic. I believe the reason that most do not provide any import is so that spammers cannot easily move their operations.

  I’ve always stuck with third-party subscription like Feedburner so that I can move wherever I want and my subscribers are always there.
