Static Copy of List of Posts in Blog In Reverse Chronological Order taken on 23 June 2023
Note: This copy was made by using copy-paste of the dynamically generated "List of Posts in Blog In Reverse Chronological Order" into Compose view of a new blog page. Then I deleted some unnecessary stuff at the top and bottom in Compose View itself. That still had two issues - the width of the list of posts was slightly smaller and a share button was being shown. The width being slightly smaller issue was fixed by cutting the contents of the post in Compose view and then pasting it. The share button issue was fixed by commenting out the associated HTML code. This static copy page can be useful if the dynamically generated (using JavaScript) page stops working for some reason (like change of API behaviour or blogger change).
List of Posts in Blog In Reverse Chronological Order - Dynamically Generated
This page has a script that generates a list of titles of all posts in this blog in reverse chronological order, with the title of the post being linked to the post. The script loads a list of 150 posts at a time which seems to be a limit imposed by the underlying Blogger API. Therefore the list sometimes shows a month's posts grouped as two groups instead of one. But there is no duplication. More information about the script is provided at the end of this post.
Reverse chronological list of all published posts in this blog
The first post of this blog was published on 15th August 2007. So this list should be (if the script works correctly) till August 2007.

I also came across an error in the script which has already been pointed out by Anonymous comment dated April 25, 2018 about "601+150=751 not 851". I fixed the error and now the script works. As of today, 23 June 2023, my blog has 1056 published posts. The script seems to list all the published posts. Currently I have made the script modification to handle a maximum of 1800 posts and so I think this post should work for future posts too, till I cross the 1800 (published posts) figure.
