    Hi,

    Is it possible to export a wordpress blog as plain html that you can then move over to another website?

    I have an odd case for this, an community club I built a WP site for is on a such plan that doesn't include any MySQL databases.

    Then move the account to a normal host. That's way easier...

    Quickest way would be to bring each page up into a browser and "View Source" - then copy it, paste it into a plain-text editor and save each page with an .html extension. Or...you know I think you can save pages - just go to each page in the browser and "Save as".

    @moshu: Yes, that'll be done in due time.

    @doodlebee: Yeh... am hoping for an easier solution though :\

    You could get a program that crawls websites and saves the code onto your hard drive. I can only think of one off the top of my head - but I haven't used it in years and I don't even know if it's still around. It might work (or something like it might, if it's not available anymore) - it was called "Web Snake", I think it was made by a company called "Anawave". What it does is basically "views" the site pages and saves them as HTML pages in a folder on your hard drive. I think it might even create directories and such, if I remember correctly.

    But like I said, it's been years since I've had to use something like that - so I don't even know if it exists anymore.
