	<<This script calls a Manila website using the Blogger API.
	<<First, we create a new post. Then we edit it. If it works there should be a new item from John Q. Public at this URL:
	<<http://bloggerapitest.manilasites.com/
	<<Note that we're using a special account set up just to run these test scripts. People can test against Manila without having a Manila site. It's OK to use this info to test scripts in other environments. We want broad adoption of this API.
	<<For further explanation see this item on today's Scripting News.

This listing is for code that runs in the OPML Editor environment. I created these listings because I wanted the search engines to index it, so that when I want to look up something in my codebase I don't have to use the much slower search functionality in my object database. Dave Winer.
