The project needed 134 blog posts moved from Squarespace 7.0 to 7.1 through a migration path that was not officially supported for this content. Exporting and importing the files was not enough: formatting, image references, and URL structure needed attention.

The archive represented years of published work. Rebuilding every post manually would have created another opportunity for omissions and inconsistent URLs.

The current public blog. My role was migrating the content and preserving its URLs, alongside the client's site designer. Visit the page ↗

Verify134 posts + URLs

I worked through the XML export and used WordPress as an intermediary bridge. Debugging covered slugs, namespaces, relative links, and import behavior.

The migration carried over posts, formatting, and media while preserving the URL structure. I checked the imported content instead of assuming a successful import meant a correct migration.

I coordinated with the client’s designer on the static-page rebuild and domain cutover, keeping the content migration connected to the larger site move.
