I'm almost at the point where my CMS does everything I want it to do, so the next step is to develop a tool to make a static render of select pages from my dynamic website before I can publish it to Neocities. I'm sure there are a ton of cool and smart ways that it could and should be done, but I want something something really quick that works well enough until I have more time to work on it.

I thought about for a minute and remembered I'm still running everything on a localhost. So what I've ended up doing is running a curl (I use Linux BTW) for each page and directory that I want, then writing it to a static directory and purging anything that would be incompatible with a static site.

Hopefully this will help things go even faster with developing this site. For now the next steps are: 1) get better graphics and colors to make my website less ugly, 2) further automate the process of uploading files to Neocities.

TLDR: Didn't feel like using a real or established static site generator so I made a webscraper to make a static copy of my dynamic site.
