madman - httrack doesn't work that way. it'll make an offline copy of an entire website.

if you want to extract just blog posts you're going to have to write a scraper - and it's most likely going to have to be modified to the site you're scraping. you don't have to start from scratch - there are hundreds of free scraper scripts out there - pick one that comes close to what you want and modify it for the site you want to scrape. it shouldn't take long or be very hard, but you'll need some basic programming knowledge (this is a good thing to acquire anyways)

cemdev,

Thanks for your information. I have finally figured out that all these programs just copy the entire website except for the possibility of the program mentioned by bobfrapples (Jr VIP Neta10).

I was thinking of using httrack and another program TeextPiipe Lite(eliminate the extra e an i) to extract the data.

Thanks

You need something that exctract(crawl) site and make for example mySql data base which would be site, right?
