      Hi,

      I am having an agency optimize the content on my sites. I need to create XML Schema before I export the content into XML.

      What is best way to export content including meta tags for an entire site along with the steps on how to?

        Are you talking about a Wordpress Blog ? What are you trying to do by exporting site content/meta data into an XML File ? Are you trying to use it as a backup or what ?

            There are tools that will crawl and scrape your entire site and make a local copy of it. Would that work as something you could hand off to the agency?

              That would probably work, keri. What are the tools you speak of?

                I've used http://www.httrack.com/ HTTrack Website Copier before. Website copy software is one keyword search to get you started to find tools like this.

                  will this software be able to export the site in xml or bascially just a offline copy?

                    I don't know if it does anything more than an offline copy. I haven't encountered your use case before, so haven't looked for that. You might look to see if that program or others has those types of options that could help you.
