This should take the feed_url and not be hardcoded?

xml = HTTParty.get("http://roopkt.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default").body.body)

Indeed it should. Users please note:

• line 104: xml = HTTParty.get({"http://roopkt.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default"}).body
  change this to xml = HTTParty.get({feed_url}).body

• lines 39, 40 , ie, the block:

  title = post.title
  file_name = creation_date.to_s + "-" + title.split(/  */).join("-").delete('\/') + ".html"

  with:

  title = post.title
  safe_title = title.gsub(/[^0-9A-Za-z.\- ]/, '').strip.gsub(/\s+/, '-')
  file_name = "#{creation_date}-#{safe_title}.html"
  

  My import was failing due to special characters in the blog titles, like '?'. This edit is for sanitizing file names.

Thank you Rupesh, Talonx, and ChatGPT.
