Save My Wordpress Blog locally

I don't remember documenting this so I'm doing it now!

These steps may seem quirky, probably a better way do this, but they work for me right now!

Export Wordpress site then convert to Markdown

*   The node.js tool I found actually found useful is…
*   Blogger to Markdown \[Which I think I got here https://github.com/palaniraja/blog2md\]

```

Note: There are other tools I tried but this is the one that actually worked for me!

Here is their description "Convert Blogger & WordPress backup blog posts to hugo compatible markdown documents"

from a terminal in the utility directory run the node.js program like so [remember to use quotes around file names with spaces]

node index.js w WordpressExportedFile.xml markdownOutputDirectory
node index.js w "/home/bill/Mystuff/Data/WordPress [Log]/Export/computerlog.WordPress.2021-02-14.xml" markdownOutputDirectory

This will create individual markdown files, for each Wordpress blog post.

Wordpress images will be imbedded, otherwise a link will be shown.

```
