Thanks, Brett.  Upon reflection following the submission of my post, I 
actually realized that on my own.  However, I do appreciate your pointing 
it out.

So, it is my understanding that Google does not regard this as a bug and 
therefore has no plans to ever provide previous page tokens.  That means 
that we developers are going to have to implement the Previous Page 
function on our own.  (Note that this is not a work around.  It's the 
implementation of a new feature.)  I can see how this is possible.  It's a 
bit of an undertaking and having to do so definitely diminishes the utility 
of the API.  Let me ask this question:  Do you think that Google would be 
able to help us by passing back a currentPageToken?   Having both the 
currentPageToken and the nextPageToken readily available would (IMHO) 
simplify the task of implementing the Previous Page function.

See the section entitled, "Retrieving Posts from a Blog" at this URL, 
"https://developers.google.com/blogger/docs/2.0/json/using".

No problem.  I think up until now most developers have been laboring under 
the assumption that Google was going to come up with a fix.  At least it is 
nice to now have the certainty of knowing that that is not going to happen 
so that we can plan accordingly.

Thanks.
