Google Authentication Problems

<script type="text/javascript">
    google.load("gdata", "2.x");
    google.setOnLoadCallback(getMyBlogFeed);
    var feedUrl = "http://feeds.feedburner.com/WorldOfWidgetsAndGadgets"
    var myService;
    function setUpService() {
     var myService = new google.gdata.blogger.BloggerService('exampleC');
     logMeIn();
     return myService; 
    }
    function getMyBlogFeed() {

     myService = setUpService();
     myService.getBlogPostFeed(feedUrl, handleMyFeed, handleError);


 }
 function logMeIn() {
  scope = "http://www.blogger.com/feeds";
  var token = google.accounts.user.login(scope);
 }

 function handleMyFeed(myResultsFeedRoot) {
  alert("This feed's title is: " + myResultsFeedRoot.feed.getTitle().getText());
 }

 function handleError(e) {
  alert("There was an error!");
  alert(e.cause ? e.cause.statusText : e.message);
 }
</script>

This little code which in general is a copy from the Google Sample Code is giving me nightmares. Somehow it refuses to authenticate my application even though I have a google account and a related blogger account. I could not find any reason for this malfunction as it keeps showing the same authentication page again and again. I have tried to run this code from my localhost as well as a web-server. To no avail. I will revisit this problem in a couple of days , until then I have a little mash up code to write dealing with you tube and jquery.
