You could try using windows live writer if that's an option.

 

Otherwise you'll have to make a form and use the document api http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/api-cheatsheet

 

Hi Anthony!

Problem solved, in fact I have been creating a form, and so on... I am happy to post here the solution, if you don't mind. 

 

Go for it.

So, what I did, copied the Content.aspx, and changed it to be able to add a blogpost. I am sure, that there is a better solution. Howerver it does work. All suggestions are wellcome!

As follows.

Yep. That's more or less the way to do it.

 

I think I have forgotten to publish the year, month, day nodes.... so that could be fixed...
