I’d like to heartily recommend Ady’s plugin; it seems really well put-together, and I think that most people will find that it’s exactly what they’re looking for.
I’m running into a problem, though, because of an odd idiosyncrisy of the blog I’m trying to import. Maybe someone here can make some suggestions about how I can work around it. What it boils down to is that the Post Title is linked differently in the RSS feed and in the actual post.
First of all, the blog is a metablog; the format is that each post shows an excerpt from a post or article of interest elsewhere and then provides a link to the original.
In the posts on Blogspot, this link is the Post Title. In short, the Post Title, instead of being an internal permalink, is an external link. In the feed, it’s a regular permalink. Thus, what I wind up with is a bunch of posts with excerpts with no reference back to the original. It’s as though someone had scissored the endnotes out of a reference work.
I’ve been able to figure out that the layout feature responsible for this is that the template has been set up so that the contents of the “Link Field” are wrapped around the Post Title. Unfortunately, the help file for this feature seems to have been written for the Old Blogger. Any idea how I could map these links and tranfer them, or does anyone know how to change that template feature in the New Blogger lingo?
