+# ljdump.py - livejournal archiver
+# Greg Hewgill <greg@hewgill.com> http://hewgill.com
+# Version 1.0
+#
+# $Id$
+#
+# This program reads the journal entries from a livejournal (or compatible)
+# blog site and archives them in a subdirectory named after the journal name.
+#
+# The configuration is read from "ljdump.config". A sample configuration is
+# provided in "ljdump.config.sample", which should be copied and then edited.
+# The configuration settings are:
+#
+#   server - The XMLRPC server URL. This should only need to be changed
+#            if you are dumping a journal that is livejournal-compatible
+#            but is not livejournal itself.
+#
+#   username - The livejournal user name. A subdirectory will be created
+#              with this same name to store the journal entries.
+#
+#   password - The account password. This password is never sent in the
+#              clear; the livejournal "challenge" password mechanism is used.
+#
+# This program may be run as often as needed to bring the backup copy up
+# to date. Only new items are downloaded.
