  There is no way to transfer those followers who use the WordPress.com Reader. Only email subscribers can be transferred and I flagged this thread for Staff attention.

  In order to transfer the followers, I’ll need to see the request from the owner of http://chrissopa.wordpress.com/

  gwhitcoe is not a user on that blog.

  Actually, the system reported that you had no followers on http://chrissopa.wordpress.com/ which I can confirm.

  And, the above is probably because I already transferred the followers when the owner requested this morning. ;)

  I don’t know how this works but was hoping to have the staff transfer my email subscribers to my new website. From http://www.miss-imperfect.com to http://www.missimperfect.com. Thank you.
