I have a question

Do not say I do not keep you 'on your toes', dear readers! Tell me - does anyone know if there's a way of grabbing all the content of a blog (e.g. this one) and copying it and pasting it elsewhere (e.g. a word processing application, e.g. Word) without copying and pasting each post individually, even the really bad ones?

In other news, I am constructing my "To Do, 2010" list. So far, I have this:

1. do more bread-making lessons with Mr Homo;
2. keep fringe for 6 months (trims allowed);
3. do not leave dental floss on floor next to sofa;
4. cancel appointment with homeopath who claims lemons are not acidic;
5. re-commence the magnificent Marguerite Patten Potluck Project.

Amazingly, the list is not yet completed because I am still thinking of things to go on it, but if anyone has any suggestions for things they think I should do, do let me know!*

Pip pip!

*"Stop writing your fuck-awful blog" is not, I am afraid, an option - unless you give me £5,000 in old pence.

I have been shown such a thing by another blogger - I have not tried it myself yet.

I would be quite happy for you to continue your fuck-awful blog, as I quite enjoy reading it. If I didn't, you could still write it, but I would have the option of not reading it. The Interweb is amazing like that - not like real life at all.

Once you featured a Lincoln biscuit on your blog. More Lincolns and other obscure/obsolete British biscuits for 2010 please.

You may not have been aware it was a Lincoln biscuit but I was moved to tears by the memory.

Kerstie, I remember. I remember only too well. You will be glad to know that I have in my cupboard a packet of unopened Rich Tea biscuits, a gifte from my friend David who stands by the fact that you have to have one plain for every fancy, i.e. you can't have 2 chocolate HobNobs in a row: you have to have a plain between each one.

For e.g. I have an excellent recipe for ginger biscuits, or is that too fancy?

Mrs.B said...

gingers are not fancy...they must, in fact, be kept separate from other biscuits because they are prone to adulterate them.

But the one fancy to one plain rule is univeral. As a child we had tea and biscuits in bed on Saturdays with ma and pa. One bourbon to a digestive...no gingernuts allowed. Rules are rules.

Things to do: stop coming across like a slightly elderly Aunt that you think is really cool because you are seven years old and are amused by the fact that your Aunty refers to a band as 'The Coldplay'

Have a happy New Year. My 'blog' is shit, I know.

Your comment makes no sense, Tired!!! Have you been having trouble sleeping again?

Blogger has an Export function. I've only ever used it as a way of copying a blog from one place to another, but I think it has an option to export to a text file. I may have remembered this wrong. I ought to go and check. Maybe I will.

Beleaguered Squirrel said...

Settings, on the Basic tab, at the top under "Blog Tools" is a link called Export Blog.

This only seems to contain the option to export the blog as an XML file. You could then open the xml file in a simple text editor such as TextPad (available free on the internet and very handy for many other jobs besides) and faff about with it until you had extracted the raw content, but it would be a bit of a pain.

Hopefully that link the first commenter posted is a little more useful!

For your 2010 list, how about random uses of monkeys in music videos.

to kick off Flat Eric from back in the day uses a neat wobbly monkey as a decoy for the cop when pulled over in the Mr Oizo/Levi's classic:

Just a thought.....
