  Hi there, we’ve recently decided to move our blog (feminiproject.wordpress.com) over to curlyhairgothic.wordpress.com, but we’re keeping the feminiproject URL as an archive of sorts/a way to preview changes we wish to make to the main website. Is there any way our followers from feminiproject.wordpress.com could be transferred to curlyhairgothic.wordpress.com, so they don’t have to follow us again?

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

  Hi there. Staff can do this for you. I’ve tagged this thread for them to follow up.

  However, also keep in mind that you might have people who follow your blog’s feed in other feed readers. Staff won’t be able to move these followers for you, so before you set the old site to private, publish a post notifying people of the change, so those followers can resubscribe to the new site.

  Hi there,

  Sure thing! I just moved your followers from feminiproject.wordpress.com to curlyhairgothic.wordpress.com, as requested. Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)

  Thanks! Yeah, we plan to post a notice for everyone to make sure they’re following us over on the correct blog now, but I wanted to avoid as much of a hassle as I could.
