Create activity nodes 

To create an entry in an activity, such as a to-do item or to add a reply to another entry, send an Atom entry document containing the new activity node of the appropriate type to the parent activity's node list.

The types of activity nodes that you use to create entries has changed from 1.0.x. For example, in 1.0.x, to create an entry that included a bookmark, file, or comment, you posted an entry node of type bookmark, file, or message. In 2.0, to create an entry that includes a bookmark or file, post an entry node of type entry and include a field of the appropriate type, link or file respectively, in that entry. To create a stand-alone comment, post an entry node of type entry that has a field of type text. To post a comment as a reply to an existing entry, post a node of type reply. For information about the node types that were supported in 1.0.x, go to the following external web site:
