  Hello,

  I’ve recently mapped a new domain name onto my existing wordpress.com blog. I was mindinrepair.wordpress.com now i’m with blue host.com and my website is called mindedmind.com.

  The issue is i’ve lost all of my followers. I’ve searched around online and this seems to happen to people. It seems that a wordpress moderator needs to switch them over for me? If that’s the case then could a moderator please do this? If this is not the case, well… I need help.

  Thanks

  David

  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. I have tagged this thread for their attention.

  Wow, nice reply time. Thanks for the help.

  Here’s the clarification information:

  new website without my followers: http://www.mindedmind.com
  Old website with followers: http://www.mindinrepair.wordpress.com

  JetPack plugin is installed on minded mind.com

  Thanks again.

  Another question while we wait, timetheif.

  Im using this new domain name, mindedmind.com, and i’m using bluehost. Will my new website still attract wordpress.com viewers at it had before when it was mindinrepair.wordpress.com?

  Posts published on a self-hosted WordPress.org site won’t appear in the reader on WordPress.com. To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Do you still want me to transfer your followers?

  Thanks, Kardotim.

  One quick question:

  Will my posts be fed into the wordpress.org stream if such a thing exists?

  There’s no main place that indexes posts from self-hosted WordPress.org sites, except for search engines.
