# Bounty: 500$ is you can convert my blog to squarespace

By Roy Osherove October 26, 2010

**Historical article** · Originally published October 26, 2010; technical details may be outdated.

update: someone has taken the challenge and is now working on the solution.

I gave up trying to relocate my community server blog to a squarespace site on my own – the software to do this properly just does not exist. so here’s a test:

I hereby offer the following **bounty** : **500 USD** for the following software:

\- will convert the BlogML format produced by Community Server into one of the formats accepted by Squarespace Blog Import (Blogger, MovableType  or TypePad)

\- will give me a simple form that allows me to replace the text in al my EXISTING community server blog posts to text of my choosing /or redirect to the new blog on squarespace

I will only pay this AFTER I see this works, but I’m willing to i give half upfront if I know you and trust you.

Once this works for me I will also publish this software for free use by anyone interested to move out of CommunityServer.

Interested?

[Contact me.](https://osherove.com/request-more-info/) Only the FIRST to accomplish this gets the money.
