First: Thank you so much for doing this, the tool is amazing.

Second: Probably a dumb question, but: so I messed around a little with the html of the index/table of contents and saved the style sheet from my current dreamwidth journal in the folder -- https://wembley.dreamwidth.org/res/4147489/stylesheet?1745745106 -- but I can't get the darker blue left-hand sidebar to appear with the list of tags and such. I'm not very tech-savvy, I just know a teeny bit of HTML and I don't really understand CSS. Do you know what code I should add in to put the sidebar back?

Third, about the actual tool again: A really awesome person backed up my Livejournal with a different method and it worked really well, but I wanted to test out your version of LJDump just for fun and see how it worked on my old LJ, since it worked really well on my DW (though I had to do the max-1500 thing or it would get rate-limited). When I tried it on my Livejournal (wemblee.livejournal.com), this happened:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Btw, this part:

urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1002)

had the "<" ">" brackets around it but when I kept those in this comment, DW didn't like it and said it was an unclosed HTML bracket, so just FYI.

Thank you so much for updating this program, it really is awesome of you. <3
