Finding all URLs in a blogspot/blogger blog

Submitted by Druss on Tue, 2016-06-14 22:22

I recently had to write a script for an app that polled a blog to retrieve content from the latest post. While blog updates are communicated using Atom/RSS feeds, these feeds by default only provide access to the last X items from the blog. The trick to retrieving earlier content is to append ?max-results=1000 to the feed URL to, for example, retrieve the last 1000 posts. I'm sure there's a limit to this number, but it was sufficient in my case.

Hope this helps someone out there.

Dead man's blog

Submitted by Druss on Tue, 2007-07-17 03:43

While I was on my the toilet seat just now contemplating my latest toilet paper origami masterpiece, an odd thought crept into my brain out of nowhere... I wondered what percentage of blogs/journals etc. on sites like blogspot would belong to dead people in, say, 20 years time. I suspect that while the medium and feature-set will evolve, the basic concept and practice of having a blog will still stick around. How about in 50 years time? There'd be millions of dead people blogs still available on the ever-eternal (mmm tautology) innernet.
