  Importing existing website into BlueHost and everything is imported except for my subscription list. Is there any possible way to import the list?

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

  Yes. 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 did install jetpack, but I’m not exporting/importing from wordpress.org, but wordpress.com. Does that make a difference?

  You are importing content from WordPress.com into a WordPress.org install, correct? http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/#wordpress-com-to-self-hosted-site

  Actually that’s not the answer. Jetpack is set up and no luck in having the subscriptions transferred over. Still says zero despite connecting to WordPress.com.

  The answer is wait for Staff to do this for you please.

  Do you wish to migrate your followers from lbdpt.wordpress.com to http://www.littleblackdresspt.com? If so, please reply to confirm and I’ll take care of that for you.

  Yes please.
  And the site stats didn’t transfer either. Should I have set up the jetpack first and then done the import?

  Your WordPress.com subscribers and email followers have been transferred as requested.

  Please note that any WordPress.com followers who opted to receive email updates will need to re-subscribe again on your new site through the Jetpack signup box, otherwise they’ll only see new posts in their Reader. Non-WordPress.com email subscribers will continue to get email updates.

  You might think about setting up a Site Redirect for your WordPress.com site at lbdpt.wordpress.com to send your site visitors to your new domain. Otherwise, people will still be able to subscribe on your old site.

  I have also merged your stats for you. :)
