Thanks Jeremy for your help!
@eatfreesimply – Yes the problem is now fixed. Jeremy moved all the subscribers that did not show up into my new self hosted blog and it looks like it is working now. If you would like to make it private there is an option when you log into your wordpress.com account under settings where it gives you the option to make your site private and that should solve it.
That is exactly what happens to me very frustrating.
Jeremy – do you have any ideas of why this is happening, did you get my forwarded email? thanks!
Thank you Jeremy I have just forwarded along an email!
Thanks I will post there now!
