  All help much appreciated.

  Thanks!

  Jetpack does not appear to be installed, or you have connected it to a different WordPress.com account.

  Have you installed, activated, and connected Jetpack? If so, which WordPress.com account did you connect it to?

  Where would I go to check which account it’s connected to? Although, having said that, I think I’ve only got the one…

  I don’t see any trace of wordstogoodeffect.com in our system.

  If you hover over the “Connected to WordPress.com” button, it will change to a disconnect button. Hit the disconnect button, then reconnect to your wordstogoodeffect WordPress.com account.

  OK, I’ve done that. I had my own domain when the blog was at wordpress.com – will that make any difference (ie the address was wordstogoodeffect.com). It’s still there at
  http://wordstogoodeffect.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  It won’t make any difference, but I do see the blog now and have transferred your subscribers as requested.

  Please let us know if you need any further assistance!
