  You’ll need to install and activate Jetpack on your new blog.

  http://jetpack.me/

  Once you have that done, please let us know!

  I don’t see any active Jetpack connections on your account.

  Did you connect it to a different WordPress.com username?

  If so, what is the other username?

  No, when you install and activate Jetpack, part of the activation is connecting it to your WordPress.com account.

  I don’t see any Jetpack blogs connected to your stephkandray account.

  I also don’t see Jetpack active at housewifemama.com

  Please make sure that the Jetpack plugin is installed, activated, and connected to your WordPress.com account.

  http://www.housewifemama.com/ is a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, which we really can’t help with.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress via their Codex and Support Forums.
