Migrating from WordPress to Community Server

Migrating from WordPress to Community Server

December 6th, 2007 // 11:59 am @

Hello,


I have been thinking about shifting to Community Server for quite a while, but due to lack of migration tools decided to hold back. Finally I have taken the dip and decided to migrate to Community Server. It has been quite a painful process and am currently migrating my posts over to this system. I hope to have all the old posts migrated very soon to this new system.

    One question: Why did you switch from WordPress to Community Server? Thanks!

    Hmm. There are many reasons. Topmost, I am a dotNet programmer, and like a system which I can easily tweak.

    I think I will write it into a post soon. Will help people decided between WordPress and CS.

    Community Server was the worst thing that ever happened to our website. Slow clunky unfriendly… Could be less community friendly if it tried.

    How did you migrate? Did you use any migration tools?

    I used the XML extract wordpress gives, and shaped it into BlogML for Community Server to import. A bit painful process in my opinion.
