For reasons beyond my current understanding, posting more than once a day is causing problems. And not just problems with my crazy "I'm taking control of EVERYTHING" stuff, but also of blogger built in tags (although they're a bit less broken).
What is happening is this: in my test blog, the archive script worked fine. Realize though, there were only two posts (and not on the same day) so it was a next-to-trivial test case. Regardless, I didn't see this coming. For some reason (some combination of my archive settings and potentially other unknown factors), more than once post per date is breaking the date for those posts. It's as though the blog only recognizes one post a day. On the page for a single affected post, everything appears fine. Using the blogger archive tags, the post is listed with no date (although it does appear in the correct place, relative to the other posts).
This is a problem for the script. It assumes that there will always be a post date (and there always should be, in my mind). However, due to this problem (bug?), the object is empty. And that is the end of this script working correctly for now. I'll probably try to tweak my archive settings, to see if that fixes it. If not, I'll probably try to upgrade the script to deal with mysteriously missing information.
While I'm at it, I should probably fix the labels script too. It doesn't work if there is a post with no labels, and there's no good reason it shouldn't. Moreover, I should probably make sure it works for posts without titles too.
/sigh.
