  Hi there,

  Original blog: clairepattimusic.wordpress.com
  New blog: http://www.clairepatti.com

  The blog I need help with is clairepattimusic.wordpress.com

  Kind regards,
  – Marcus

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

  You get to do this yourself, unless you want to buy the $130 guided Transfer upgrade.

  On the dashboard Tools page of the WP.com blog, create an Export file. On the corresponding page of the new blog, import that file. Check to see that the images and media came across in the tranfer too.

  Then move your followers over. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/

  Sorry – by data I meant stats & followers, not the data/content, I’ve already done that :)

  I’ve installed the Jetpack plugin on the new blog, connected it to WordPress.com with the WordPress.com username, and the Subscriptions module is activated.

  Ah… got it, followers moved.

  But, how do the site stats get merged?

  Thanks for bearing with me, appreciate your assistance.
