  I’ve read a few threads about this, but it’s not totally clear to me whether you can transfer followers from a WordPress.com blog to a self-hosted WordPress.org blog. I’ve moved everything over from http://kellerrainbowcounseling.wordpress.com to my self hosted blog at http://kellerrainbowcounseling.com/blog and installed Jetpack. Is there a way to have my followers transferred over? Thanks in advance!

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

  Provided you have installed and activated the JetPack plugin http://jetpack.me on your WordPress.org install, and you post the relevant URL(s) into a forum thread, Staff will do the transfer of both subscribers and stats for you. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/#wordpress-com-to-self-hosted-site I have tagged this thread for their attention.
