I want to copy a whole website (uncopyrighted)'s contents to a Blogspot blog.

Basically if a website has a table of contents like this:

Intro (link) Chapter 1 (link) Chapter 2(link) etc...

How do I make a program so that automatically the links to these articles are posted to my Blogspot blog, and when I click on the links it goes to posts within my blogspot as opposed to the actual link?

So basically I want a program that does this:

When there is a series of links on a website, open link 1, copy & paste on Blogspot (on a new post) open link2, repeat until end of link,

and then create a final post that has links with the same title as the original links, to all the Blogspot posts.

Blogger/Blogspot isn't the best-suited tool for this. Wouldn't it be easier to just mirror the website's content elsewhere?

# Mirror an entire website (-m), convert links (-k), and wait (-w) 2 seconds between requests.
wget -mk -w 2s http://www.example.com/

Still, if you're adamant about it, you could take a look at the Import/Export feature in Blogger.

I don't know how to build a website. Can u recommend a site? Hopefully a fun one, because I was looking at one and it was boring, so that I could not follow.
A: 

There is by definition no uncopyrighted content.

If the site you want to copy is using javascript magic then there is no easy general option, otherwise i agree with John to use "wget".

But from your question you should take a basic programming course first and come back in a few months.

That's not how the law works. The site can write what it wants, but what's on it is copyrighted.

That's not strictly true. Work that's released into the public domain has no copyright protection.
John Feminella
No. The construct of public domain does not exist in international law. I know that some people say that the national law of USA allows this, but i doubt it as the international copyright act which was initiated and signed by the USA makes clear that a creator can never loose the copyright on his publications. My wisdom about this is about 10 years old - but i would guess it is still correct.
