Re: problem with blogger java v3 api authentication

Sorry Brett, I don't have a clue how " Blogger policy is that all users of 
the service agree to our terms of service" relates to my last query:

    "Is there* any* way now for an unattended Web Server Application to 
post blogs to blogger, using only "own data" and no user data (i.e. without 
user login)?"

And I cannot find any Blogger policy that states that such blog entries 
cannot be posted; please a specific reference to the T&C.

John
