Is it possible to “freeze” a WordPress blog?

I’m currently running a 365 photos project and it’s based on a WordPress platform. Currently this is very helpful because I can upload the photos easily and manage comments and stuff.

Because we are reaching the end of the year, I would like to “freeze” the blog. I mean, remove all the WordPress engine code and leave all the pages as statics HTML. This will allow me not to have to get updates for WordPress, or worry about security.

Is there any way to “freeze” a WordPress blog? Do I have to download the entire site with, say, HTTrack and re-upload it or is there a fancier way to do this?

BTW, I have no interest of keeping the comments on or any interactivity that the blog has. I just want a static website.

Take a look at this WordPress plugin WP Static HTML output

This plugin produces a static HTML version of your wordpress install,
incredibly useful for anyone who would like the publishing power of
wordpress but whose webhost doesn’t allow dynamic PHP driven sites –
such as MobileMe. You can run your development site on a different
domain or offline, and the plugin will change all relevant URLs when
you publish your site. It’s a simple but powerful plugin, and after
hitting the publish button, the plugin will output a ZIP file of your
entire site, ready to upload straight to it’s new home.
