  Dear WordPress.com Support Team,

  I just moved my WordPress.com blog and changed my blog to a selfhosted blog. Due to that move I have lost my WordPress.com and email followers.

  I have read on the wordpress.org support forum that I need to “contact wordpress.com tech support and ask them to transfer your wordpress.com subscribers to your self-hosted blog using Jetpack.”

  Now I have connected my old account with Jetpack – Are all followers back with my new blog?
  I also heard that the WordPress Support Team had to approve the accounts manually to move the followers as well!?
  Your feedback would be very much appreciated!

  Best Regards,
  Kim

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