Feedly | currently greets me with 569 new posts (!!) in that channel. Now 745 -- and the bigger issue seems to be that the 'posted at' timestamp is wrong and 'current' so all the old posts are now seen as 'fresh'. Hence the flood ... of unsorted post. blosxom, simple as it is, takes (IIRC) filesystem ctime as the posting timestamp so would be best if you had a backup with the old timestamps.
Looks like those dates are gone -- the switch from svn to git involved some copying, and I didn't preserve timestamps. I'll see about regenerating the more recent ones. I don't think there's much historical interest in the pre-4.0 versions, so maybe I'll just nuke those. Duncan Murdoch
