Microsoft Live Spaces to WordPress.com Blog Migration Painless and Mobile Friendly

I started using MSN Spaces (later Live Spaces) blog off and on since early 2006 to early 2008. Its general slowness and click heavy administration interface finally became too annoying to deal with and I moved on to play with other better forming services like Tumblr. Microsoft finally threw in the towel themselves, announced that Live Spaces would be turned off in 6 months, and offered a migration path to WordPress.com. I found this particularly amusing since WordPress is built on a set of Open Source development tools.
