 * I am using this plugin to scrap another webpage into my own, however the links
   on the page are absolute and so are trying to look for the file on my domain 
   rather than the one I have scraped.
    Is there anything I can do to get around
   this?

 * You can use the <base href=”website.com”> attribute in the <head> section of 
   your Header. This will only work for 1 URL, however, as you’re only allowed one
   <base> tag and will likely break other links. Chrome and Firefox tend to support
   it even if you put the <base> tag in the body as of this writing, but IE 10 doesn’t.
   This isn’t proper structure, though so I wouldn’t recommend using it. Other than
   that, I’ve found nothing. Maybe a short Javascript?
