# How to: Move your blog off of weblogs.asp.net

By Roy Osherove November 18, 2010

**Historical article** · Originally published November 18, 2010; technical details may be outdated.

**My blog has finally moved to [/blog](https://osherove.com/blog)**

**Thank you** DotNetWeblogs and ScottWater for creating the _dotnetweblogs.com_ site to begin with. It used to be a great community site, which I was proud to be part of.

- **Why?**

_Thank you Microsoft_ for abandoning it and leaving its users hopelessly stuck unable to move to other blog platforms. Today it is ugly, unmaintained, and 7 versions back in the CommunityServer version. This horse is almost as dead as live spaces, only Microsoft isn’t planning on reincarnating it into wordpress any time soon.

- **What’s the new RSS feed for the new blog?**

It’s the same. you don’t have to change anything, since I’m using FeedBurner for the feed.

It’s still [http://feeds.feedburner.com/Iserializable](http://feeds.feedburner.com/Iserializable)

- **I want to move my blog out of this site as well!**

We’ve released the tool that has exported my project as an Open Source tool over on CodePlex:

[http://blogmigrator.codeplex.com/](http://blogmigrator.codeplex.com/)

- **Will this work for other CommunityServer based sites?** _(such as blogs.microsoft.co.il , blogs.msdn.com ?)_

It should, since the tool is based on XML-RPC. It also supports SquareSpace and WordPress, so you should be able to:

- Move your blog from WordPress to Squarespace
- Move your blog from WordPress to CommunityServer
- Move your blog from Squarespace to WordPress
- Move your blog from SquareSpace to CommunityServer
- Move your blog from CommunityServer to Squarespace
- Move your blog from CommunityServer to WordPress
