"Content Unavailable" Errors

If the HTML files contain the string "Content Unavailable", it means that blogger2md was unable to retrieve the content from an HTTP request to the specified post. Check the URL of the content in the corresponding XML file. The URL will be in a <link> element with the rel attribute of 'alternate'. Visit this URL in the browser, and it should be clear why the content is unavailable!
