1.  Change Blogger.com settings, under “Formatting” tell it to show 999 days on the front page.  DO NOT PUBLISH

2.  Modify your blogger template to:

<?xml encoding=”utf-8″ ?>
<entries>
<Blogger>
<bi_url><![CDATA[<$BlogItemURL$>]]></bi_url>
<bi_title><![CDATA[<$BlogItemTitle$>]]></bi_title>
<bi_body><![CDATA[<$BlogItemBody$>]]></bi_body>
<bi_author><![CDATA[<$BlogItemAuthorNickname$>]]></bi_author>
<bi_date><![CDATA[<$BlogItemDateTime$>]]></bi_date>
</Blogger>
</entries>

3.  DO NOT PUBLISH, instead hit the “Preview” button

4.  In the resulting screen, you’ll see a bunch of unformatted text.  Select “View Source” and then copy everything from the opening <? xml ?> tag down to the closing <entries> tag.  Paste that text into notepad and save as archive.xml.  On the edit screen, hit the “Discard Edits” button.  Go back and restore the settings from step 1.
