    Hello. I have an existing WordPress blog using Woo-themes. http://www.bucknrunranch.com

    I am looking into moving to StudioPress and the Genesis framework. I can't find any information about the logistics of doing this. The last move from Squarespace to WordPress was a nightmare and took weeks to complete. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations?

    Install Genesis and activate your SP child theme.

    Any custom coding will need to be converted to using genesis_hooks.

    You can preview your new theme first.

    You may want to install WordPress locally and import your content so you can check it out better before making the move on your live site.
