Hi Jeff, Thanks for taking time to respond to my post. My apologies I did not detail the problem well enough. Let me make another attempt :).
Firstly your following understanding is incorrect. My apologies. "Right now, your application authenticates, then reads the blog posts using the API, and displays them to the select group. However, your app doesn't handle writing comments, so you'd like users to be able to do this themselves through the Blogger UI. " My goal: To keep the users of my web application lets call it "Application Zycus" updated on new features which we release. Criteria of a good solution: (a) I do not wish to develop any feature or use engineering hours to develop something which can be used to publish new feature updates to users of "Application Zycus" So my choosen Solution: (*) I created a private blog in Blogger.com. Here i write blogs to detail out the new feature updates, with screen shots, youtube based video demonstration of how to use features, etc. (*) Because users of "Application Zycus" will not log into a Blogger.com to see what new features have come. I want the some kind of integration betwee "Zycus Application" and "My private blog on Blogger.com". I want the integration to be MINIMUM in my engineering resource effort :)) .. for obvious reasons. Solution Achieved So Far: (*) Users log into "Application Zycus". He gets to see the list of new blog entries (just the blog title) written at blogger.com. (This integration we have already managed) Problem Being Faced: (*) Now I want the user to be able to be able to click on the blog title and it should open up the blog entry in a new window in blogger.com domain. (*) The reason I want this is bcoz I do not wish to develop an integration which would read the entire blog and re-render it in "Application Zycus". This would mean "ENGINEERING COST". Not of high value to me at this point. Techincal Glitch: (*) When we try to open the blog post in a new window directly, it gives us an error that "CROSS DOMAIN" issues. Can get the exact details from my engineers. But basically, it rejects the POST/GET request coming from "Zycus Application" domain, because it is not the same as (Blogger.com) domain. This is my next attempt at explaining my issue. Hope this helps u find a solution for me. Thanks in advance again.
