  I would like to move my subscribers from my wordpress.com blog to a self-hosted blog. I’ve moved everything else (I think), but after reading forums, it looks like only a WP staff member can transfer subscribers.

  Old site: betweenweekdays.wordpress.com
  New site: betweenweekdays.com

  Thanks!

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

  Please install and activate the JetPack plugin and Staff will move your email subscribers for you. Followers using the WordPress.com Reader cannot be transferred.

  Good. Provided it’s activated all your need to do is subscribe to this thread and you will be notified when Staff transfer your email subscribers over.

  I have much the same problem, with a slight difference.

  I have a GoDaddy Web Based email account with several folders set up with different email addresses according to the adressee’s interest.

  There is one folder that contains a emailing list and I would like to move just these addreses over to my wordpress blog which is:

  flyoverpress.wordpress.com

  I also have the JetPack plug in installed.

  Can that be done?

  Thanks

  That can’t be done, the subscribers need to subscribe themselves.
