Unless you want the entire page, you need to know something about
the page structure.

Well. If the page is even reasonably marked up (DIVs/Ps-wise) and
you create an array of block elements, you *might* get away with the
assumption that the ones with significant amounts of text (for some
value of "significant") are the actual blog post.

Might. I'd imagine a lot more going into that heuristic, since you're
looking for an AI solution  :-)

Good luck,
