The Xanga Archiver

Posted 4 November 2005

I've put in some time on the Xanga Archiver, and so far it's able to generate a zip file with all of a user's public posts and the associated comments. It's still incredibly rudimentary. Special thanks to David for noticing a flaw before I published this: Xanga modified their site and broke the script.

Read more, download it, or try it out at the Xanga Archiver project page.
