Re: [syndication] Radio + Blogger API = ?

["Dave Winer" <dave@userland.com>]

Hmmm, as the person who made this choice, I disagree. By requiring blogId to
have a specific value, when and if Radio supports multiple weblogs per
installation, we'll be able to pass that info through the API. If we allow
any value we lose that flexibility. The choice is well documented and we
ship source for the Blogger API. I'm afraid I don't see the problem. Also
this is off-topic for this list, there is a mail list for the Blogger API,
this list is about syndication, a different topic. Have a nice day. Dave
