+# Using Ghost's WordPress plugin
+
+Ghost has an advanced approach to [migrating to Ghost from WordPress](https://ghost.org/docs/migration/wordpress/), and have written a plugin
+to make this happen smoothly.  It still requires exporting data to a computer and re-uploading it, but Ghost's plugin helps access and format the data for a better transfer.
+
+
+## What this solution does not do
+
+According to Ghost's guide, "Keep in mind that a migration from WordPress will not include custom fields, metadata, shortcodes, custom post types & taxonomies, or binary files. Just posts, pages, text, and images."
+
+Also note that the user must fix URLs manually.

+
+# Alternatives
+
+There are many guides to migrating sites or blogs to WordPress.
+
+* Blogger - [WordPress Guide](https://wordpress.com/support/import/coming-from-blogger/)
+* Ghost - [WPBeginner Guide](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/ultimate-wordpress-migration-guide/)
+* GoDaddy Website Builder - [WPBeginner Guide](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/ultimate-wordpress-migration-guide/) 
+* Gumroad - [WPBeginner Guide](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/ultimate-wordpress-migration-guide/)
+* Joomla - [WPBeginner Guide](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/ultimate-wordpress-migration-guide/)
+* Medium - see both WPBeginner and [WordPress guide](https://wordpress.com/support/import/import-from-medium/)
+* Shopify - [WPBeginner Guide](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/ultimate-wordpress-migration-guide/)
+* Squarespace - [WordPress guide](https://wordpress.com/support/import/import-from-squarespace/) 
+* Tumblr - [WPBeginner Guide](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/ultimate-wordpress-migration-guide/)
+* Weebly - [WPBeginner Guide](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/ultimate-wordpress-migration-guide/)
+* Wix - [WordPress guide](https://wordpress.com/support/import/import-from-wix/)
+* Webflow - [WPBeginner Guide](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/ultimate-wordpress-migration-guide/)
+* Facebook - [WordPress guide](https://wordpress.com/support/import/import-from-facebook/)
+
+Some of these are more turnkey than others.  WPBeginner offers free migration services under some conditions, others 
+have instructions on how to export data from the source system and reimport to a WordPress site.
+
+
+## What these solutions will do
+
+Many of the transfer options involve exporting content from one platform, and importing it to WordPress, including the
+Blogger, Medium and Squarespace steps.  The user will need a computer on which to download the content from one site and
+upload to another. 
+
+## What these solutions will not do
+
+Transfering additional information to WordPress beyond content pages may involve much more work or not be possible
+
+* Moving from an e-commerce service like Shopify or Gumroad can move
+content and listings, but because a WordPress user must figure out their own e-commerce plugin for sales, moving 
+customer data and past sales data will be much harder.
+
+* Content may be copied from Tumblr, but the social graph would not be.

+
+# Approach
+
+Squarespace offers an article explaining how to 
+[move a WordPress site to SquareSpace](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/115008374348-Moving-from-WordPress-to-Squarespace).
+
+## What this approach can do 
+
+This can move content and domain.  Content includes attachments, blog pages, authors, categories, comments, and MOST images.
+
+## What this approach can't do
+
+The instructions from SquareSpace explain that a site's layout, design and fonts cannot move.  It may be easier to start
+from a new template and focus on moving content into it.
+
+Also be sure to read the instructions on what kinds of images don't get imported. 
+
+SquareSpace has a different ecosystem of plugins from WordPress, so any plugins that the WordPress site relied upon will need to be considered
+separately.
