Its great to browser the internet, learn new things and often see tutorials from your favorite sites. But what in the times when you do not have internet access, or your internet is down, maybe you dint pay the bill.. :P
Lets cut the crap!!..have you ever wondered if you could download an entire website and save it later for offline browsing?
Well, IT IS POSSIBLE and even you can download your favorite website in just a few easy steps. :- )
Step 1.>
Download this software. HTTrack Website Copier.
Once downloaded and installed, proceed to the next step.
Step 2.>
Launch the software, and you will be presented with this sort of screen. Click "Next".
Step 3.>
On the next screen, Type the project name and create any category if you want to.
Now you need to select the base path. This is the path where the website will be saved on your hard disk. Remember this path as you will need it when you want to do offline browsing.
Step 4.>
Once done till here, click Next. Now is the time to add the website that you need to download. On the next screen add the URL of the website that you wish to download. If you wish to download my entire blog onto your hard disk you may enter as shown in the below screenshot.
If you are a first time user, just click on next but if you like to play around with things, you may as well click on the "Set Options" box and adjust various other settings as per your need.
Step 5.>
Once you have clicked Next, you will be presented with several optional things, like whether to shutdown the PC after the job is done and some stuff like that, you may tweak around a bit or you may simply click next to watch the software in action...
Step 6.>
Almost done now!! Click on Finish and watch as your site gets downloaded to your hard drive... : D
It can be a long process depending on the website you have chosen to download.
Once the process is complete you may navigate to the location on you hard disk and open the folder to find a file named "index.html"
Just open this file with your favorite browser and VIOLA!!...you can now browse the complete site offline...
I hope this will be helpful to you at some or the other point of time... :- )

IMPORTANT: Please do no try to download websites like 'wikipedia'. It will begin downloading no doubt, but will take years to complete. Only proceed if you have that amount of time.
