Modifying recipe for Wordpress blog with comments

Hi - wondering if anyone can help me out... I'm new to trying to script or do recipes, so, apologies... I've been trying to figure this out myself but I'm running into a lack-of-comprehension wall.

My end goal is to get recent articles, with comment threads, from a blog I follow. A simple custom recipe gets the articles, but not the comment threads, so I've been trying to research how to do it with the comments.

Via this thread, I found the recipe shared here for another wordpress blog. I've tested it, and it works, with comments. So that's good.

Now, I'm trying to adapt that recipe for a Wordpress blog I follow called Savage Minds. Here's my modified version of the recipe:

Spoiler:
Code:
class Savage_minds(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = u'Savage Minds'
    oldest_article = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 100

    no_stylesheets = True

    keep_only_tags = dict(name='div', attrs={'id':'content'})
    remove_tags = [dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'meta clear'}),
        dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'snap_nopreview sharing robots-nocontent'}),
        dict(name='div', attrs={'id':'respond'}),
        ]

    feeds          = [(u'Savage Minds Blog', u'http://savageminds.org/feed/')]


It seems like it should work, based on what I understand of the other recipe and the HTML code it's parsing, but I'm doing something wrong, because all I get is an index and no articles. Here is the --test -vv output:

I don't get it. It looks like it's failing to download all the articles and then failing to parse them, but I can't understand why.

Any help would be appreciated
