I am worrying about calling references from the bib database. 
Either one just uses \nocite manually. blog.sty v0.4 does not support 
usual \cite functionality. It reads a line (or a sequence of lines until 
they are "balanced") and "copies" it to the output stream, expanding ...

"interception" method in order to issue assignments or 
writing to different output streams.
