ME help sez:

How to get the RPC URL

The RPC URL for New Blogger sites is contained in the blog's main HTML source code, tagged with the label "service.post". For example, the MarsEdit test blog on Blogspot contains the following line:

<-- link rel="service.post" type="application/atom+xml" title="MarsEdit on Blogger - Atom" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2742621948488638421/posts/default" />
The RPC URL is the URL contained in the "href" tag above. In this example, "http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2742621948488638421/posts/default".

How to get the Blog ID

The Blog ID for New Blogger is the numeric portion of the RPC URL. In this example, "2742621948488638421".

so RMG RPC URL is

href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6601297701152762435/posts/default"

and RMG Blog ID is

6601297701152762435


AND -- I just dragged the URL into the field and it figured it all out without all this need for rigamarole.

Tho' a good plate of rigamarole sounds pretty good right now. Nothing like those Italian sauces. But, I digress.
