The remaining text is still in the ColumnText object,
but you don't render it.

Yes, you are aware of such a method.
You are already using it in your code:

If (ColumnText.hasMoreText(status)) is true, you still have content
in your ColumnText object. That content needs to be rendered, or it
will disappear. In the code that follows, you are missing a go() method.

HERE YOU NEED ANOTHER ct.go();
but you'll need to rearrange the code in your loop,
otherwise you'll overwrite that content with the next blog entry.
