  I recently moved blog.500friends.com from a WordPress.com hosted account to my own host, and I would like to move the blog subscribers to the new instance with Jetpack, which I have installed and connected.

  The old instance now shows up in my account as 500friends.wordpress.com.

  Is this something you can do?

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

  Provided you have installed and activated the JetPack plugin http://jetpack.me on your WordPress.org install, and you post the relevant URL(s) into a forum thread, Staff will do the transfer of both subscribers and stats for you. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/#wordpress-com-to-self-hosted-site Do that now please as I have tagged this thread for their attention.

  I have installed and activated JetPack on my WordPress.org install and posted the relevant URLs to this thread. Again, they are:

  Active Blog URL: http://blog.500friends.com

  Old blog on wordpress.com (which has subscribers I want to transfer): 500friends.wordpress.com
