Once you’ve got all the files (like below) Microsoft Word can import HTML 
files.   Editors designed to HTML editing (e.g. Kompozer) will often have a 
“Open from web” option such that you can just type the URL.   If you really 
want systematic scraping, look at libraries like Beautifulsoup (Python based), 
but that will involve some programming.

Subject: Re: [FRIAM] scraping a web site

Nick;
You might try installing Firefox, if you don't already use it, and go here to 
add-on DownThemAll.  I recall that you can set how many layers deep you want to 
go.  Of course if you get ALL your content you will have to figure out where 
and how you want to repost it.

Dear Phellow Phriammers,

I am in the uncomfortable position of being bound by threads of steel to 
Earthlink.  Many, MANY, years I go I started a website on Earthlink, 
{http://home.earthlink.net/~nickthompson/naturaldesigns/
}, and put a lot of my writing, and some commentary up on it.  The website 
creation and editing medium (trellix) was pretty good for its time, and there 
are many ways that I find the site quite satisfying.  But gradually Earthlink 
has withdrawn its support, and now I am not sure I could get in to edit or 
change it.  Meantime, Research Gate has gotten started, and provides a somewhat 
better place to meet the world and archive my stuff.  And also, having the site 
on earthlink binds me to them and their 22 dollar a month fee.  So. …

I am wondering if there is a way (or a service that would) scrape the website 
and, possibly, dump it into a new and more reliable, more website creation 
medium?  Please, ambulatory knowledge only.  I don’t want a people doing deep 
searches to answer this  question .

Thanks, as always .

Nick
