Actually, you can put any digital file onto the Loughborough University Research Repository, no matter the format. For a while now, I wondered how one would go about putting up a website. Afterall, that’s just a bunch of html files, why not bundle them up and create an offline version of them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week, I was given the opportunity to try with the Design Never Ends project<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Turns out, it’s both easier and harder than expected. The most recommended tool, HTTrack<\/a>, worked 95% of the way – with only some images breaking. This was an image heavy website though, so 95% was not enough. I tried creating a snapshot <\/a>on Wayback Machine to download, which was easy enough to do, but the result looked not so great. I ended up using Cyotek WebCopy<\/a>, which was perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What all of these tools do is save all the pages and pictures and whatnot, and relink all the hyperlinks to these offline versions. Takes a few minutes to do, but like all things in life, easy with the right tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Actually, you can put any digital file onto the Loughborough University Research Repository, no matter the format.
