LOL Gotta work on this. At this point, I don't really care about a hook but I've been trying to find a easy way to do tags in Blogger.

He doesn't say how much, and stresses that they've not been acquired. Here's the relevant part of the mail. "Meetups are going so well that, alongside our existing investors, eBay just invested in Meetup.com! I love eBay. They use the internet to empower and connect people and make the world a better place. That's exactly what Meetup is all about! They did NOT "buy the company", they simply invested money that we'll use to run and grow Meetup.com. Our hope is this will make everyone's Meetups better. This news is something for us all to be proud of!" It wasn't a personal mail of course, but my congratulations to Meetup.com anyway. Why do I care? I use them whenever I RSVP for the Seattle Webloggers Meetup. I went to another the other night. Good fun again - met up with Anita, Jack, Tommy and was introduced to Dennis and Ram.

It has nothing to do with tags themselves. The <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Hooks" rel="nofollow">World of Warcraft Wiki</a> defines a hook as: "Hooking a function is the procedure of modifying a function after it has been defined to carry out another set of instructions every time the original function is called." So I would like to modify the post function in Blogjet to check whether I've added tags. If not, halt posting and notify me.
