Hi Brett, thanks for getting back to me. I've created an app engine account. I'm not a python or java programmer, (yet) are there some pre-built modules I could install or link together fairly easily that would allow me to do what you described? I'm not opposed to learning either language, if I had to pick one it would be python.

Well, the next step is to set up your code so that it will run on a server somewhere. Being the google dev rel that I am, I'm going to suggest Google AppEngine, and I am quite happy to help you and review what you are doing.brett--On Sun, Nov 7, 2010 at 3:59 PM, jjb <onephatcat@earthlink.net> wrote:Hi Brett, thanks for responding. I'm not sure - the blogger isn't a
programmer, where would I look to begin to understand how to do that?
I can test on my own blogspot account, but I have never tried to
interact with Google api's till yesterday, when I wrote the prototype
app I mentioned, which just gets a list of postings from the exposed
xml feed.
