  I switched my blog from wordpress.com to self-hosted on wordpress.org this week. When I post, does an email still go out to my followers from the wordpress.com site or do they all need to re-subscribe??

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

  Resubscribe if you used the stock WordPress.COM subscribe widget – you can make a few Posts on the old site and reference the new site to give people a chance to follow the new site.

  I did use the WordPress.com subscribe widget. thanks! I was hoping they would be transferred over somehow, but guess not. :-(
