Well, getting Blogger to work with a PHP site is a pain. 
I thought I had a bright idea with this as my template and assign Blogger's output to variables that I can use later:
The problem is that Blogger uses double-quotes in its HTML tags and, when it replaces the Blogger tags, PHP cannot parse it as a string. AddSlashes() doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas? Store it as a plain text file and read it in that way? Seems like a lot of trouble to go through.
