typically in mW-api implementations the postid is a string that
includes the blog id and the post number.  in radio, it's just the
postid - 0000001 etc.  in blogger, it's a number, the primary key on
their posts sql table, b/c post ids are globally unique over all
blogger blogs (i think).

in manila, it's something like blogname#postid.

the postid that getRecentPosts returns is the same one you use when
you call getPost ...
