  Please transfer email subscribers from
  http://studiobefairfax.wordpress.com/
  to http://studiobepilates.com/

  Jet pack is installed and I understand that followers cannot be transferred. Thanks!

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

  Hi there, when we transfer your followers, we actually transfer both email and WordPress.com followers.

  Your email followers will continue to receive email updates, and your WordPress.com followers will continue to see your new posts in the Reader. If your WordPress.com followers would like to receive email updates, as well, they can subscribe via email on your new blog.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. If that sounds okay to you, please reply to confirm and I’ll go ahead and transfer them for you. :)

  Hi Sara,

  You’ll need to update your self-hosted site to its permanent address (instead of the development address at 94.136.40.103/~hencorner.com) before we can transfer your followers. Otherwise, you may lose your followers once you switch to the permanent address at that site.

  Please go ahead and do that, and then disconnect and reconnect Jetpack on that site. Then, please start a new forum thread requesting the follower transfer and we can take care of that for you. :)

  Hey Symodes,

  That’s the subscribers moved across for you. Be aware that the totals may take a wee bit of time to update to reflect this!

  Cheers,

  Hi–can you transfer my followers, too–from askatechteacher.wordpress.com to http://askatechteacher.com. The latter is a self-hosted WordPress blog.

  Thanks for the help!

  @worddreams
  Staff cannot do that until you install and activate the JetPack plugin http://jetpack.me

  Hey @worddreams

  Like @timethief said, first up, please make sure you have carefully followed the instructions on this page:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/#wordpress-com-to-self-hosted-site

  Then confirm the source/destination URLs for me and we can take care of it.

  Cheers!

  Thanks, clickysteve. You-all took care of me, once I got my bytes in a row.
