Blogger Converter

Very basic converter that takes a XML Blogger export file and generates a local static website.

Purpose

The idea is to have a very basic website, very simple, locally, to try to make a photobook easier. With a very basic file architecture, it should be easy to design a photo book based on a blog. Articles are separated in distinct html files and linked resources (images) are stored in dedicated folder per article.

Downloading of images is optional

** Features **

  • Try to download the highest available image manipulating different URL (across the ages, depending on the source, there are operations to retrieve thumbnails or broken links during article edition...)
  • Sanitize filenames
  • Basic map
  • Start of reporting (to design and improve) no tag articles and no geolocalized articles
  • Introduction of a basic map locating articles (biggest missing blogger feature?)
  • Online site generation: continue retrieving images online
  • Clean unused resources files on reimport

TODO

  • Convert image embedded data into files for easy image drag'n'drop into photo book editor (maybe copy paste is enough)
  • Add a bit of design
  • Implement basic tests
  • Improve options
  • Use credentials for private blogs
  • Convert into photobook format :D
