Wget a Plone site (and make it actually work)
There’s a lot of different resources and posts on the web about how to export a Plone site to static html content, but no methodology would actually solve all of my problems.

Although, I guess it’s the case that even though I’ve used these given forms, I’ve probably never taken much notice of the popup calendar icon and just selected a random date from the drop-down lists. I suppose entering a random number on they keyboard and hitting tab across the fields 3 times is simpler than going for the mouse. Who knows. (more…)
