Hi Pete, any changes that you guys are going to support listing more then 25 posts using Gdata on existing blogs? Or, what is the data that all bloggers will be migrated to the new system that does supports that?

No, we have no plans for increasing the post limit for current Blogger.
We also do not have a set date for when everyone will be on the new version of Blogger, and I can't comment on our timeframe plans. It will not be tremendously far off, however. I recommend all new products or services target the version of Blogger that is in beta.
I've encountered and odd issue with using the latest gdata java libs. I've had success with the libs in one enviroment, but not in another. My guess is that it has something to do with some firewall or how the lib does https.
Is there any guidelines on what firewall configuration is required for the client libs to work? Or any other network or ssl restrictions?
Is there documentation on how do this manually? (web client version). Would be great to be able to add labels to a post, and also create new labels. Thank you

beta.blogger.com uses the standard Atom categories sub elements. So just add category elements to the entry element and you'll be all set. New labels are created implicitly.
