Finally had a chance to check this out, and I have three comments:


0. Looks pretty nice!

1. entering and exiting the edit mode without making changes marks the
   buffer as modified and these changes seem to get put into the undo
   history.  I don't think we want either of those behaviors.

2. I'd like some universal way to get back to weblogger-mode without
   “M-x weblogger-toggle-edit-body RET”.  In fact, I'd also like to be
   able to post new articles and update existing posts without
   returning to weblogger.  I'm sure I can code these things up
   myself, but if weblogger-mode is aiming to be make blogging
   painless for Emacs users, it should make these kinds of services
   easy and/or available OOTB.
