Migrating from Windows Live Spaces to SquareSpace - outline

This is going to be a series of blogs, and hopefully release source code for getting your blog out of Windows Live Spaces.  I want to split this into two major sections, and then have a few trailing articles discussing the differences and things as I encounter them.

First Half: Export your blog data out of Windows Live Spaces

• No export option
• MetaBlogAPI – documented on MSDN
• Export to some sort of format: XML?  MoveableType?
• Cleaning the data
• Exporting comments?

Second Half: Import your blog data into SquareSpace

• Using a format that SquareSpace understands
• Unhappiness with documentation – regarding DYI imports
• Imported Blogs go under a new journal
• Migrating content between journals

Extended Time:

• Release code
• Gotchas
• Data cleaning
• Pictures
