Way to spider Wordpress site
I have an old Wordpress site and I want to move it to a new server and take it off Wordpress (too many hacks). I am trying to spider the site so as to get static, non-Wordpress, pages.
I am having trouble doing this. When I spider the site, it changes the URLs. For instance, if the URL is www.domain.com/page/ the URL I get out of the spider is /page/index.html And those are not the URLs in the search engine indices. There are about 2000 pages on this site, so it is not feasible to set up 301 redirects.
I tried using these spidering programs: WinHTTack Website Copier and PageNest
Does anyone know of another method of turning a Wordpress site into a non Wordpress site?

In his book “Moneyball,” Michael Lewis explains the working of Billy Beane, general manager of the Oakland As and his role as an asset manager. Unlike the NFL, in which teams share television revenue and stick to overall salary caps, major league baseball allows teams to fend for themselves. As a result the big market teams (e.g., the New York Yankees) have more money to acquire top players and assemble a winning team. Managers of teams with smaller budgets, like Beane, have to be smarter in selecting lower paid players. Lewis admires Beane’s use of hard numbers in evaluating players and identifying underpaid ones.

Website development as a series of nested options. Seeing website development as a series of nested options can help clarify your web strategy and aid in making decisions.

They are better at charging their customers - the advertisers - what the customers are willing to pay. Customers often resent price discrimination but businesses employ it to incr...
