Posting to Blogger: Editing Posts
See Also: Create New Post Guide, Uploading Images Guide, Uploading Files Guide.
Sometimes, after publishing your document, you'll notice a typo or mistake - or just realize that something you've written may just not be something you want preserved for posterity on your blog. Follow these directions to navigate towards the editing interface. The editing screen itself is identical to the posting screen - so you can simply follow the new post guide to use that interface.
