Attaching post metadata

I'm attempting to move an old blog to blogger.  Each entry
from the
old blog has an integer ID that I would like to preserve and
to query
blogger with later (to add comments).  Is there a way to
store this in
the entry?  Or do I need to store the blogger assigned ID
and
translate them locally?

I recommend against storing this information in the entry.
Since this
information is used for internal purposes in your
application, it
makes more sense to me to track the information in your
system
(though, I admit, this may be more work for you). If you
were to put
this information into the entry somewhere, it would be
publicly
viewable and I don't know if your readers would find this
information
useful. It might even be confusing.

Happy coding,

Jeff

Thanks.  I ended up storing it locally.  I just wasn't sure
if there  
was a place in the Atom spec for this.  I tried making a
link, as it  
seemed appropriate, but it didn't seem to take (I didn't
look to see  
if the library I was using was removing it or if the service
was  
ignoring it).  It ended up being less screwing around time
to just  
store it locally.

Thanks for the response.
