Create a MOSS 2007 Publishing Site Template

Despite the lack of a setting in the Site settings interface it can be done. It's been documented quasi-officially here and elsewhere but it's actually far simpler than most people make out. Instead of going to all the trouble of disabling and re-enabling the publishing feature, just navigate to the site you want to create the template from and append the following to the end of the URL: /_layouts/savetmpl.aspx Apart from saving time, the benefit of this is that your template will already have publishing features enabled.
