Hi All,

In the Protocol section of the documentation under,
"Retrieving a list
of blogs" it says:

"The Blogger data API provides a feed for retrieving
the list of blogs
for a particular user. You need to get the user's ID, which
is the
string of digits at the end of the user's profile URL."
I see nothing
as far as that particular value being returned. I've looked
through
the Java source and can find nothing that can seem to return
it
either, although I haven't been through every line and
file.

What I'm trying to do is get that particular piece of
information so
that if there is someone on a list of "trolls" I
can redirect them
away from my blog. I can find nothing about that as far as
it being
available to Javascript as a blogger variable or tag,
either. Between
IP addresses and profile/userID, I think many of us on
blogger could
live much happier lives.

When I need to find a user's ID, I usually open their
profile page or
look in the self link of a blog entry. For more details, see
this
section of the developer guide:
http://code.google.com/apis/blogg
er/developers_guide_protocol.html#GettingBlogs

In these cases, the user ID is used to see which blogs
belong to a
specific account.

It sounds like you would like to identify the account which
is viewing
your blog and decide whether or not to allow them to view
it. Am I
understanding your objective correctly? I'm not sure if
Blogger
currently supports blacklisting functionality like this, but
you can
do whitelisting. When editing the settings for your blog,
there is an
option to only allow specific people to read your blog under
the
Permissions tab.

Cheers,

Jeff
