Hey people, don't fight for this ;)
{{ teacher-mode }}
Just think human behavior, be pragmatic and just paste human actions on your
technical architecture...
What do you want the user do?
1) click on a button in order to create/write a new Blog entry/post
2) write something in it
3) click on another button to post/publish the new Entry/post on the Blog
So just propose these actions and try to find a sentence to represent it in
English with popular words and lets see how it sounds on a real blod.
If users are not happy with the sentence, you will change it.
Moreover, I would say that in each language, it will be translated
differently with something not like entry or post... So don't need to spend
time on this...
Create a new entry
Create a new post
Write a new post
etc...
Post it
Publish it
etc...
Whatever :)

"Post" seems to be more popular because it's used by Blogger, etc. but I
would prefer "entry".

"Thinking about the action the user is doing I prefer "Write a new blog
post" to "Post a new entry". Posting a new entry sounds too techie to
me."
"Publish a new entry" ???
So, let's compare "Create blog entry" and "Write a new blog
post".
Your proposal make me see a "Create blog
entry" button in some menu,
then a "Create" button in the creation form.
I'd prefer to see a "Write a new blog post" button and then a
"Publish" button, this seems more "humane" to me.
I don't understand why you don't agree to this option: "Create blog
entry"
-> "Publish"
All this actions: "*Create*" | "Write" | "Add" |
"Make",
"*Publish*" | "Post" ...,
"*View*",
"*Edit*" | "Modify" ...,
"*Delete*" | "Erase" | "Trash" ...,
"*Comment*"
can be applied to either "entry" or "post".
