How to Create an Offline Version of Your WordPress Blog
WordPress began in 2003 to provide a platform for users specifically to create blogs. These online journals emerged in popularity in the dawn of the 21st Century, which helped this user-friendly site evolve into the largest self-hosted blogging tool on the planet. Millions of users create their content using WordPress, and some even use WordPress to edit their own websites. Ordinarily, you would sign online into your WordPress account to create your blog, but there may be occasions when you wish not to update your content online right away. WordPress works in conjunction with offline editors to create your blog content even when you are without Internet access to sign into your account.

Install an offline editor to create your content. Editors such as WBloggar (see Resources) work with blogging platforms like Blogger and WordPress. WordPress compiled a list of recommended text editors on its own Codex (see References). This specifies editors that work with Mac or Windows, or both.

Install a plug-in for your browser. Scribe Fire Blog Editor (see Resources) works as a browser plug-in to create content offline through Mozilla, Safari and Chrome. If using a browser plug-in, you will need to restart your blogger to access the editor.

Select a file transfer protocol so that you may upload the content you create on your own timetable. FileZilla (see Resources) works with different operating systems, including different versions of Windows, and is completely free to use like WordPress.

Install your FTP. The setup process allows you to set up the proper port, which usually automatically populates for you in the dialog box. Follow its instructions how to upload specific files.

Tips & Warnings
Files created in typical word processing programs -- such as Microsoft Word, WordPerfect or Open Office -- corrupt when transferring over to WordPress, but you may use Windows FrontPage, provided you avoid templates and Internet Explorer-specific coding.
