A quick, somewhat inelegant script for downloading your LiveJournal. (It doesn't grab comments, sorry!)

## You'll need to install Wget first:

import subprocess
import os
import time
import random

## Change directory to the desktop
os.chdir(os.path.expanduser('~/Desktop/'))

## Initialize pagination value
skip_value = 0

###################################################
## Choose a LiveJournal URL (replace with your own)
home_url = "https://imomus.livejournal.com"
###################################################

## Removing slash from end of URL
home_url = home_url.strip("/")

## Run the scrape
# If your LJ has <20K posts, this script will grab everything (excluding comments)
for i in range(1000): 
	current_page_url = f"{home_url}/?skip={skip_value}"
