  Will my wordpress.com blog still be active and visible after a Guided Transfer to a wordpress.org blog?
  Blog url: http://theirischronicles.wordpress.com/

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

  You set the blog to “private”.

  But what if I want it to still be visible for a little while – will it?

  It’s generally a bad thing to have the same content in two places for search reasons, but yes, it can be if you so desire.

  Ok, I get that. So I need to sort of do a post telling my readers/subscribers that I have a new website and give them the URL to the new site.

  Will my subscribers come with me when I move from wordpress.com to wordpress.org?

  You can purchase the domain forwarding upgrade and visitors to old site will be sent to new site.

  I think subscribers can be moved if you use the Jetpack Plug-in and get help from the staff to move your subscribers.
