 * Hey all,
 * We’ve been using Movable Type for some blogs and we’re now getting ready to upgrade
   to MT 3. However, I suggested that we check out WordPress as I was pretty impressed
   with some of the features. However, we have one very important requirement that
   we would need to duplicate from our current environment. Basically, we want to
   have the server where people post behind a firewall and then have the blog server
   publish static files to public web servers.
 * I’ve been searching around and I saw a few plugins and forthcoming features related
   to managing or publishing static pages but I have been unable to determine if
   the above scenario is possible without a great deal of pain. Anyone have any 
   pointers here? BTW, I do realize that a central design feature of WordPress is
   that the pages are dynamic but the ability to publish statically is pretty much
   required for us.
 * Thanks in advance for any help.

 * Ummm…. find a different tool. WP doesn’t produce static pages (specifically html)
   in the manner you are looking for. The “static” pages you’ve seen in WP discussions
   are a different animal. People wanted to include static stuff (about me, email
   me, etc) into their site. That’s what those plugins are about. As far as I know
   there isn’t a way to generate static HTML out of WP short of viewing the page
   and doign a “File | Save As..” on it.

 * Why not a modification to “Create New Page” where one could enter a URL instead
   of page content? The remaining fields wouldn’t have any effect on it, but some
   could be useful. Page Title would function as the title for the page in the Pages
   list and Page order would let WP know how to sort it.

 * Ignore that last. It is relevant, but I explained it better in another post.
