Printing out StevePavlina.com with a script?

[geekchic9]

I would love to write an automated script that would print out selected articles from stevepavlina.com in chronological order. For example, I could print out all of the articles that came out in 2008 from January until now. With this script, I could print out the site's articles for offline use without going through the hassle of manually clicking each article link and printing out each one.

So, two questions:
1) Would Steve have a problem for his articles to be printed out this way?
2) If no, then what is the simplest way to do this? Do I have to use Perl?

Of course, my efforts would end if Steve would publish all of his articles as a book. I don't know how popular that would be, but I would buy it.

Thanks!

Well it's probably not all his articles but a good selection of knowledge, his book:

Amazon.com: Personal Development for Smart People: The Conscious Pursuit of Personal Growth: Steve Pavlina: Books

And no you don't have to use Perl.

Assuming you use Windows, you'd probably have to use something that ties in with windows rather well, such as .NET. I dont' know if there is specifically a way to print things out in .NET, but you'd definitely have a better chance than in Perl.

It'll be really useful to have all these articles in a more portable form!

i got all excited. is that the book steve is currently working on or a compilation of his blog postings?

i'd love it if a pdf collection of his postings were available. an e-book i guess? i'd buy it.

No, this is his book. It's not a collection of the articles from the site. It's new material.

Not that you shouldn't buy it anyway, just so you're clear on what you are getting...

You know what could potentially be profitable? Steve getting his blog posts turned into book compilations on a regular basis.

[geekchic9]

Yes, that's what I'm thinking! He could make a "Best Of 200x" (where x = the year) book for every year he's been on the Internet. I'd buy them! What's the fastest way to contact Steve about this idea?

I think an audio version of his book would be a hit. Different people have different learning styles and some of my clients read a book I recommend and have this dazed expression on their face. Sometimes I give them an audio of the same book and I often hear them say, "This changed my life!"

Steve, I hope you plan on releasing an audio version of your book. You could even have a deal where the book and cd/dvd are sold together as a package.This model worked for Covey and :The Eighth Habit."
