I don't know if there is in Gnus. But I know there are some under Emacs. The first choice to use is WebloggerMode (http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/WebloggerMode) You can post your blog entry by using that. For reading Blogs, You can use nnrss backend, which involving RSS mechanism like in Google Reader. In the group buffer, press "G" "R" and input the url you like.

The third method is g-client in Emacspeak package. It provide a set of interfaces for Google services, including Google Calendar, Google Reader and Blogger. If you happen to use Blogger to post and Google Reader to track your friend's blog. It would be a perfect choice. 

PS: Maybe Google update their web API interface. I downloaded both the g-client package in the latest stable Emacspeak package and the SVN version, but neither of them can get the Calendar... Does anybody have an idea? Thanks!

I've tried using the weblogger files from the Emacs wiki site and I
can't seem to get it to work on blogger.

Here's what I did.
M-x weblogger-setup-weblog

url:http://name.blogspot.com
username:sivaram (also tried sivaram AT gmail.com)
password: ######

and I got the following error.

Reading [text/html; charset=UTF-8]... 168 bytes of 159 bytes (106%)
Reading... done.
xml-rpc-request: Error during request: 405


How do I fix this?

Hmmm... Weblogger cannot directly find your xmlrpc interface. For
Blogger, try this:
url: http://www.blogger.com/api/RPC2
username: ___@gmail.com (should include @gmail.com)

I have follow the website. But I get void w3m-buffer function.
although I have had the w3m-el installed, but it has only w3m function
but no w3m-buffer.

Any idea?

I had the same problem before. I found that there is no "w3m-buffer"
function inside of emacs-w3m. So I just commented this g-html-handler
setting. Then it use default emacs-w3m to display the buffer. However,
it can not render the current buffer, means that it will open another
window and display your calendar. Right now I haven't have any idea to
solve this yet... :(

For post, since blogger.com supports mail-to-blog(check its setting in
the web), so that's enough.  We can rely on our great Gnus again ! 

For read, I have tried nnrss many times, but not very satisfied.  Maybe
it's always better relying on firefox, etc here.

That worked, except that titles are not appearing at all.  Blogger
does not seem to pick it up from the post Subject line or from the value
set in weblogger-default-title.

Try this: http://jwickers.wordpress.com/2007/09/20/webloggerel-enhanced/

I download weblogger.el here. I tested it for Wordpress Blog and it
works OK including the title.

That's the one I've been using.  And the title is not appearing whether I use
html tags, set the defvar to something.

You're probably suffering from the same problem that I described in

http://codeblog.bsdninjas.co.uk/index.php?/archives/59-Weblogger-Mode-finally-playing-with-Serendipity!.html

If you look at the XML generated by weblogger-mode, it's likely to be
missing the title tags because chances are that you've got problems
getting the capabilities from Blogger.

Thanks.  From your blog it appears you got it to work with mt?  Would
the same work with blogger?

I got it to work with serendipity, but in order to do that I modified
the server code to implement the call that returns the server's
capabilities. I doubt that this is possible with blogger :)

It may be possible for you to hard code the values in the capabilities
structure to allow weblogger to send the correct XML; that's a
possibility I was looking into but didn't follow up as correcting
serendipity's XML_RPC support seemed to be the right thing to do.
