  Hi,

  We’re in the process of transfering out blog from a wordpress.com hosted site to one we host ourselves. I’ve already installed and configured jetpack.

  I’ve been told that it is possible to transfer blog subscribers and email subscribers after this is setup with the help of staff. Is this truly possible and how do we go about asking for it?

  Thanks,
  Tate

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

  Which WordPress.com blog are you moving the subscribers from? I see two on your account.

  The wordpress.com hosted site is
  http://svsundowner.wordpress.com

  (however, this blog is setup with the sundownersailsagain.com domain, though the domain is now hosted elsewhere. I had previously purchased the domain and setup DNS through wordpress.com)

  the wordpress.org site is
  http://sundownersailsagain.com
