How to Archive a WordPress Blog to HTML Static Files

1. Log in to your WordPress administration area. Click 'Plugins' from the main menu bar on the left and then click 'Add New.' Type 'Really Static' into the text box in the center of the screen and then click the 'Search Plugins' button.
2. Locate 'Really Static' in the search results and then click 'Install Now' followed by 'Activate Plugin' after the installation is complete.

3. Log in to your FTP account for the WordPress site and navigate to http://yourbloglocation/static, replacing yourbloglocation with your own WordPress URL. This is where all your static HTML files are located. You can now either download them or pass out their links to anyone you wish to access the static portion of your site. Every time you update your blog, the static files will be automatically updated; if you want an archive of your blog as it is now you'll have to download the files before making any updates.
