Moving away from Website Baker

[Pmaurer]

Website Baker has served my site very well for the past 2 years but I would really like to simplify things and be able to just have html pages without the need for the backend aspect of Baker. Is there a way I can convert my pages over to all html and get rid of WB?

Thanks for the response....was there an answer posted for this ticket though? I'm a bit confused...

You can use a tool like wget or HTTrack (http://www.httrack.com/) to download the complete page. You may have to fiddle with the settings a little bit to exclude external links.

I understand that...I can download all my files fine...but how do I convert them over to static htmls?

This WILL convert them to static HTML. You can make the tools act like a browser, so they will save the pages as static HTML. Try HTTrack if you use Windows, it's quite easy to use.
