Google has a centralised authentication scheme.

Under this scheme, a 'login service' handles your authentication and
other google services (such as blogger, google search, etc.) use your
authentication with the 'login service' to personalise your experience
or provide access to the data associated with your account.

The URL you provided appears to be a login service URL that includes a
"continue" URL (ie: "once logged in, send the user's browser over here
to access the blogger service...") and a few other parameters.

... roughly speaking, anyway
