  A friend of mine wants to view one of my blogs when not connected to the internet. I was thinking of one of these solutions, but it did not work

  – export and then import it again in some kind of offline device –> the import of xml into e.g. word includes too much irrelevant information for easy reading of the contents
  – make a copy with httrack every week e.g. –> it only works with the first page and that page links to the online pages again
  – print the entire website contents (posts and pages) to pdf as a pdf report –> I did not figure out how to do this?
  – I looked into some posts here and people show me to burble, that mentions it is not supporting wordpress for now
  – print a pdf from each page … but that includes too much information, including the full page structure of the blog on every printed page

  Any suggestions?

  I’d suggest that your friend use a desktop RSS reader. Provided your blog is set to provide full content RSS feeds, most RSS readers will download the content and allow reading offline.

  tellyworth, thank you for your reply … that would indeed help for viewing posts in chronological order, but not for viewing the pages and not for browsing through categories … or am I wrong?

  does anyone know how to mirror a blog to a PC, so that the blog becomes browsable offline?

  problem with rss … that only works well with a full public blog, not with a limited community blog, since rss feeds don’t get sent out from those blogs
