I recently converted the OrbSWARM Blog and Mediawiki<\/a> to static websites. Here is how I did it.<\/p>\n

Download the entire wiki, minus the “Special” pages and “Help” pages<\/p>\n

-k –convert links – edit each page so the links on it link to the new static site instead of a website
\n-p –page-requisites – fetch all the support files too, like .css and javascript
\n-r –recursive – download the whole site, not just one file
\n-R –reject – don’t download pages with these names in them
\n-E –adjust-extension – make all files end in “.html” <\/p>\n

Download the entire WordPress blog<\/p>\n

wget -k -p -r -E http:\/\/blog.orbswarm.com\/<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then just upload all those files to a web server!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
