Migration to Squarespace

I've jumped off Dreamhost and I'm giving Squarespace a shot as a complete content management, hosting and blogging platform. There have unfortunately been a few snags which I'm still untangling such as migrating blog post images from WordPress and re-routing blog.jamesrbritton.com.

If you'd like to help me out, sign up for a 14 day free trial to Squarespace using my referral link.

My new blog address is now jamesrbritton.com/blog.
