TypePad is closing down at the end of the month and Phil Gyford has shared the process for downloading a TypePad blog (so that you can turn it into “a pretty self-contained ‘static HTML’ site”).

Sitesucker is a really great tool when you're stuck with a hosted site. I used it a few years ago to archive an old Ning site.
I was surprised I hadn't come across it before, given it's been around so long and I've archived a few sites over the years. My loss!
Whoa! Fun fact, TypePad is how I learned CSS.
TypePad had a few HTML templates to choose from and a tiny little box for CSS. I'd write the CSS in Notepad and paste it in the box over and over. It was my own CSS Zen Garden.
