Thanks for the suggestion. Wow, this solution looks pretty complex, also. I don't know Python although I am a programmer.

And unfortunately I don't have a machine on which to run cron jobs during my long trip, although I am sure that I could beg off on one of my friends.

It seems like there is a large learning curve and some custom work involved to any approach to this problem. (which is something that I wanted to confirm with this post, to see if I was missing something)

I am figuring that I can do my most of blog reading via just reading my RSS reader on the N800 offline and refreshing the feeds whenever I have bandwidth. The blog writers seem to give complete feeds, although I miss out on the useful comments.
