Are you able to assist me in how I may copy my wordpress site to an external hosting platform? Thanks in advance for your help. Alice.

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your blog to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support blogs hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new blog–including the importing of the file–must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

  Thanks so much for your help. I can see on my blog that in “primary blog” in “peronal settings” that http://www.thewholedaily.wordpress.com is listed. Can you please help me understand why this would be the vase on a wordpress.org blog. Also when I post to my blog my followers get notified from wordpress.com. How is this happening if they are two separate operations? Kind Regards,
  Alice.

  Once you’ve moved your blog to a self-hosted WordPress.org site, you can install the Jetpack Plugin. This plugin connects your self-hosted site to your WordPress.com account and allows me to move your subscribers/followers.
