I'm still not here, but I've moved my original blog over to my own domain.

Sorry everyone, but I just can't get away from the addiction of my Blogger.com blog. I've tried several types of software. If you came hear to read my journal, then head on over to my blogger.com account.

Unless there is a lot of functionality that the Blogger.com folks are not telling me, then there Atom API is extremely limited. I still can not get a list of posts other then the most recent fifteen (or is it ten?). However, I was able to start picking out individual blogs from the Atom feed and found that content doesn't come across - only the summaries come through. This is lacking much in my book.
Beside from that, I can not find a way to edit settings or templates through the Atom API either. Blogger doesn't support it. However, the older Blogger API that is being phased out has all of this functionality through XML-RPC. I may just go along with an XML-RPC client if I can't get at the information that I want. I'm primarily looking for a way to back up my blogs data rather then scraping the site. Currently, the site is about eighteen megabytes for the HTML alone - partly due to the large size of my template.
There is documentation all over the web showing examples of how you would do this, but none of them have worked with blogger. The Atom API is also supposed to support a way of sniffing its functionality (Create, Read, Update, Delete, Search). I haven't seen this on the Atom feed results.
Well, it has been a long night and there is much to do this weekend. |

I began working on my Atom client to interact with blogger again. I am able to access my feeds that list the ten most recent entries that I posted on my blog. I can not get a list of other entries. I think that I have over three hundred of them, so there should be a way to access them.
After studying the Atom API on this subject, I have learned that the feed itself should contain a link with a "rel" attribute that has a value of "next". The blogger.com Atom feeds do not contain this link.
I'm still hunting around with the hope that maybe someone can point me into a good direction on this topic. |
