  Hi cindychow21,

  You can find out how to export your Squarespace site here: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206566687

  Once that is done, make sure you are logged into your new WordPress.com site, then go to Settings, which you can find on the left hand side of your Dashboard. Scroll down and click Import. You’ll want to use the importer called WordPress in the list.

  You can find detailed instructions here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/#importing-content-from-another-platform
