  I am in need of moving my active followers from my wordpress.com blog to the blog hosted at my own domain (through my own install of wordpress from wordpress.org).

  The blog I want to remove from subscribers FROM is http://larsonsport.wordpress.com
  The self-hosted site I want to move my followers TO is http://www.larsonsport.com/blog

  I understand that I need to request this of wordpress staff support. Thank you.

  Provided you install and activate the JetPack plugin Staff can do this for you. I tagged this thread for their assistance. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.

  I have installed the Jetpack plugin and connected it to my wordpress.com account.

  Hi brian857,

  I have moved over all your WordPress.com subscribers as requested. Please keep in mind that while your email subscribers will continue to receive email notifications of new posts as before, WordPress.com followers will only see new posts in the Reader. They will not receive email updates unless they subscribe to receive those on your new site.

  Happy blogging!
