hey... so here's the deal.
I blog with some friends at sieveandsand.wordpress.com
and every couple hundred posts we plan to take our poetry and turn it into a book (easy through lulu.com)

last time i did this, I made a pages document with three text boxes. one for the poems title, the next for the body of the poem, and a final for the author of the poem.

then i manually went through our blog and copied the title over, then the body, then the author.... needless to say this was time consuming.

can someone help me figure out how to do an automator script which would do this for me? I'm sure there is a way, I'm just also sure that I'm not bright enough.... the issue is that i might be able to figure it out with the RSS feed, but the feed only goes back like 20 articles...

any ideas? (p.s. i'm running leopard)
