The posts for this particular blog should no longer be treated as drafts. The blog's posting behavior through the API had been changed because of suspected spam.

Happy coding,

Jeff

Thanks for looking into it! Please contact me off-list if you'd like info about the customer blog in question. I.e. if you think it might be specific to this one blog.

A customer of mine is reporting a situation where editing a post from MarsEdit causes the post on his blog to be unexpectedly migrated from a regular post to a draft post.

The customer has sent me network log information from the app, supporting the idea that for his blog, when MarsEdit includes an app:control item that literally requests no draft:

<app:control xmlns:app="http://purl.org/atom/app#"><app:draft>no</ app:draft></app:control>

Blogger returns with a PUT 200 succeeded, but with app:draft set to yes:

<app:control xmlns:app='http://purl.org/atom/app#'><app:draft>yes</ app:draft></app:control>

I thought there might be a user preference or something to treat all incoming submissions as drafts. But I can't find anything like this.

Under what circumstances would a user's blog be forcing edits into drafts like this? Can they fix it, or must Blogger?

Test edits to my own Blogger blogs do not exhibit this problem.

I'm looking into this, but I don't have an answer at the moment so I'll have to get back to you. Great question Daniel.

Thank you,

Jeff
