If you have ever tried to post a blog post to the blogger platform using the Deepest Sender firefox blog posting addon, you get the following error :

error sending post: Must specify either an content or summary element for a post

I was getting this particular error whenever I was trying to post to the blogger platform. I could not find any solution to this particular problem. I explored on the internet and reached to the conclusion that we are using the older version of the protocol that we are required to use in order to successfully post to any blog on the blogger.com platform. Otherwise you will always get the same “Must specify either an content or summary element for a post” error.

We need to use the Atom 1.0 specification instead of the older Atom 0.3 specification.

You can find references to beta impl. At

The Atom 1.0 specs can be found:

In order to successfully use the Deepest Sender blog poster, we need to use the following kind of gdata entry :

Now the problem with the current version of Deepest Sender is the fact that you cannot change on your own the syntax that is used by this application to post to the Blogger service. What we can only do is ask the developer of this particular application to make the application compatible to the Atom 1.0 specification and release the newer version at the earliest! Thats the only solution for this particular problem.
