+## Overview
 
-- [GNU Wget Manual](http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html)
+The legacy State of the Commons site was a combination of three (3) seperate
+WordPress sites.
+
+This static copy was created by:
+1. Mirroring the site with `wget`:
+    ```shell
+    ./bin/mirror_with_wget.sh
+    ```
+   - [GNU Wget Manual](http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html)
+2. Updating the files using GNU sed
+    ```shell
+    ./bin/update_for_static.sh
+    ```
+
+These commands should ***not*** be run again. Any corrections should be
+incorporated into a new script.
