Updating blog posts
To update a blog post, send a replacement blog post entry document in Atom format to the existing blog post's edit Web address.
All existing blog post information will be replaced with the new data. To avoid deleting all existing data, retrieve any data you want to retain first, and send it back with this request. For example, if you want to add a new tag to a blog post, retrieve the existing tags, and send them all back with the new tag in the update request. See Retrieving a blog entry for more information.
See Authenticating requests for information about how to authenticate the request.
