These are the steps I think make sense in working with this scraper. The scraper this code is based off of assumes it is cycling through paragraph tags within a div, not classes of separate divs.
-1st figure out how to get it to parse separate divs
-2nd figure out how to get it to search within a div for a string, ie the test page has a lengthy class with many tags in it, including "post." Need to be able to compare just "post," not the full class name.
-3rd would be helpful to dump the tags separately, they include useful topical info

Python assistance appreciated!
