Interface with Blogger via the Atom API

According to Blogger's Developer Network, Blogger provides third party blogging clients to manage blogs via the Atom API. Man, to tell you the truth, I've had enough of it! After playing for hours and hours, I'm unable to get a sample C# code and its couterpart WSDL to post a simple entry to my Blogger blog. Hey, don't get me wrong, I've compiled the damn thing. According to the error message, my username/passworddigest was authenticated and all that, but it gives me this stupid error 400 message:

Malformed Atom API Request received.

I'm unhappy! After some googling, I found this post on Yahoo Group bloggerDev and realized someone else have also experienced the same problem. I tried sending this guy a email, however, his mail server bounce it right back indicating his email box is full! This is very disappointing!

I guess, I just have to let Blogger work on it a little bit more before I start working on it again.
