That's awesome! Thanks for the code example Ryan! That's very helpful. :)

Based on your tips for working with my array of IDs, and the
limitation of wpdb::prepare() (must have at least one argument, and
arguments can only be %s (string), %d (int) or %f (float)), I could
fake things and do (not tested, but gets the point across):

$rows = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT blog_id FROM
$wpdb->blogs WHERE blog_id NOT IN (' . implode(',', $ids) . ') AND
public = '%d' AND archived = '%d' AND mature = '%d' AND spam = '%d'
AND deleted = '%d'", 1, 0, 0, 0, 0), ARRAY_A);

I'd probably end up using easy to configure variables for the %ds above.

Using your tip on making sure the IDs are valid/secure, then I'd say
it's OK that I'm not actually using "prepare" to sanitize the input
array of IDs.

Thanks again Jerry and Ryan!

Cheers,
