I would like the active followers [email subscribers PLUS blog followers] from my wordpress blog to the blog that I am now self hosting in my own domain.

I have moved from wordpress.com to wordpress.org and have already installed the Jetpack Plugin.

The blog I want to remove from subscribers from is http://theawesomesisters.wordpress.com.

The self-hosted site I want to move my blog followers + email subscribers to is http://www.theawesomesisters.com.

How do I get around with this?

I don't know about losing traffic, as I believe that your followers are transferred over, so they will still get updates. But views coming from search engines will take a few weeks to start again, as your site needs to be indexed again.

As for links:

New URLs: If you add domain mapping to an existing blog with posts, their URL’s will change. We’ll redirect any visitors looking for the old URL’s over to the new ones, so none of your visitors will get lost out there on the internet, but other services won’t always understand that the old links and the new links point to the “same” place. For example, Tweet counter widgets work based on particular URL’s, so old posts’ counts will be reset to 0. Once you make the change, future posts will not be affected.

The domain upgrade does not change the website in any way, expect for the URL, you are still bound to the same terms of service, and your dashboard and options will all remain the same. Only the URL changes and the .wordpress.com removed.

At the moment I'm running a wordpress blog
euromillionsnews.wordpress.com
In about a few months time I would like to change that to
euromillionsnews.me

1. How do I do that?
2. Will i loose all the traffic straight away?
3. Will there be a redirect from my blog to website?
4. Will I still have all the ease of use for website as I have now?
5. What will actually become different? Except the fact that I will have to pay for it.

When I log into my wordpress.com account I can see my blog and posts, when i preview i can see how it would look, but when i type the url in, it's a totally brand new blog with none of my stuff.

I decided that this is too much for me and I want to use wordpress.com. so i changed the nameservers back to point to wordpress.com

Am I doing something wrong?

My advice is to hire a web host and set up a WordPress.org install because you can edit themes and CSS on WordPress.org sites free of charge.

You cannot build or use your own custom theme built from scratch at WordPress.com.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/

http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

The only themes we can use are those found here > Appearance > Themes
This is a multiuser blogging platform. All blogs wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template and we cannot access the underlying files and edit templates or themes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/

There are two free themes, Sandbox and Toolbox designed to allow maximum flexibility for CSS editing and creating new “skins”. Toolbox is more modern and includes a lot of support for CSS3 and HTML5, so it is really only limited by your skills and knowledge.

If you have CSS editing experience the upgrade will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but will not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to WordPress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes at WordPress.COM. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-css/
