This is possible, but makes it a bit more difficult. Briefly, you would clear your cache and cookies, then login with your Web browser, then find that cookie and use that same coookie (aka, Session), and crawl it and use the authenticated cookie to crawl a private journal. Use the following commands in your Wget command: <pre><b><code>--cookies=on --load-cookies=cookie.txt --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies=cookie.txt</code></b></pre> You'd copy over the data of the authenticated AOL cookie into the a cookie.txt file in the Wget bin folder and do that. ~Joe Katherine,

I also have a private journal and I could not get it to work. I assume I somehow have to be "allowed in". Any suggestions??? Thank you - This seems to be working on my public journal (it’s crawling now). I also have a private journal and I could not get it to work. I assume I somehow have to be “allowed in”.
