  The blog you specified at simplythewildside.com does not appear to be hosted at WordPress.com.

  This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

  If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

  Hi there!

  I tested the connection to your site and we were unable to make an XML-RPC request to your website. Please make sure that XML-RPC is turned on and that Jetpack is installed, activated and connected with your WordPress.com account. If the error persists, try disconnecting and connecting Jetpack again, check out our troubleshooting guide:
  http://jetpack.me/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-tips/

  You can check to see if your connection is set up properly by entering your URL into this field here:
  http://jetpack.me/support/debug/

  Once you’ve got your connection active, I will be happy to transfer your WordPress.com subscribers and email followers as requested.

  Let me know if you have any trouble.

  Thank you for trying. I tested the connection via the troubleshooting webpage and everything looks like it should. i’ve disable plugins and i’ve also restarted jetpack (username alinthakhan). I feel like i am doing something wrong with wordpress…i feel like i may have two account and maybe that is where the disconnect is? alinthakhan was http://www.simplythewildside.wordpress.com account. Then i switched to selfhosting and created username ‘livewild’…i can’t seem to get that user name to connect to jetpack, but i am not even sure i need to connect that name b/c if i log into wordpress under the alinthakhan both wordpress.com and the self hosted site show up there.
  i hope that makes sense and we can get this figured out :)

  i think i got the screen names and log on all figured out….getpack said “authorize ‘livewild’ to connect to ‘alinthakhan'”….so it should be connected. fingers crossed. Please let me know if the subscriber transfer has more issues.

  I have transferred your WordPress.com subscribers and email followers as requested.

  Please note it may take up to a day for the stats to accurately reflect the transfer.

  I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
