  I recently moved my blog to a self-hosted site using wordpress.org and would like to migrate my follwerss from my wordpress.com blog. I have the jetpack installed and the sites connected. The url’s are:

  ridngfarsportpsych.wordpress.com

  ridingfar.com

  I understand that I need someone from support to migrate my followers. Is that correct?

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

  I see two Jetpack sites, ridingfar.com/wordpress/ and another at ridingfar.com. To confirm, you want to use the top level ridingfar.com, correct?

  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 ridngfarsportpsych.wordpress.com to send your site visitors to your new domain. Otherwise, people will still be able to subscribe on your old site.
