  Howdy!

  Thanks for getting in touch. We can certainly help with moving across your WordPress.com subscribers.

  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 let me know both the source, and destination URLs of the blogs you wish to transfer subscribers between.

  Thanks!

  Hey clickysteve,

  Sorry, I thought I replied but it looks like it didn’t post!

  The source URL is: http://nomadswind.wordpres.com
  The destination URL is http://nomadswind.com

  I have both of these setup in my WordPress.com account already and have followed the instructions in the page you linked. Thanks!

  Hey!

  That’s you all set. I’ve migrated across the subscribers as requested. Please be aware that it may take a bit of time for the totals to update, but you are good to go. :)

  Thanks!
