  I’d like to transfer subscribers from my WordPress.com site to my new self-hosted blog. I’ve done all the other pieces myself–acquired hosting, installed WordPress, installed Jetpack, redirected the content. All I need is to transfer my current wordpress.com subscribers to my wordpress.org site. Is there a way to do that myself?

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

  No you can’t do this but Staff can and I tagged this thread for Staff.

  What’s required is:
  installation and activation of the JetPack plugin on your WordPress.org isntall;
  posting both URLs for the underlying .wordpress.com blog and the domain into this forum thread;
  tagging the thread with modlook in the sidebar;
  subscribing to the thread so you are notified when Staff make the transfer.

  Thanks, Timethief!

  The WordPress.com site is: mesummer.wordpress.com
  The WordPress.org site is: http://www.mesummer.com

  Jet pack is already installed on the WordPress.org site.
