> While working on an implementation for a MetaWeblog API server (for our
own private weblogging platform in PHP), I found the relationship between
the MetaWeblog API and the Blogger API quite confusing.

> I slowly and awkwardly came to the understanding that the MetaWeblog API
doesn't stand on its own, but extends the Blogger API. Do I even understand
this correctly? The phrasing "designed to enhance the Blogger API" is quite
vague - does this mean that an implementation of the MetaWeblogAPI also
requires the methods required by the Blogger API? Perhaps it's due to the
varied support in the available client software, but it seems that is the
case.
