  Dear WordPress,

  I recently moved my wordpress.com blog (nailartaddictions.wordpress.com) to my self hosted (domain) blog http://www.nailartaddict.nl. Browsing around on the internet I read some option on your support site about moving the blog followers of my .com blog to my self hosted one. Can you help me how to move them to my self hosted domain? I already installed Jetpack on it. But I can’t find any follow options or transfer option in there.

  With kind regards,

  Viviana

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

  I also moved–a month ago, and had my followers/subscribers tranferred over to my self hosted site via the staff here. But a problem with the Jetpack plug-in/Publicize caused me to have to disconnect and reconnect, and now I’ve lost all my original followers again.

  I have had the same url: eatplaymove.com for both the wordpress.com site and now my new wordpress.org site.

  But now that it’s transferred would it be giving me back the subscribers from
  http://www.eatplaymove.wordpress.com to
  http://www.eatplaymove.com
  ?
  Please help. Thanks.

  Please be aware that Staff cannot move any subscribers until you install and activate the JetPack plugin.
