"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".

*Post: *Computers: a) message that is sent to a newsgroup; b) text that is
placed on a Web site.
*Entry: *(syn: submission) something (manuscripts or architectural plans and
models or estimates or works of art of all genres etc.) submitted for the
judgment of others (as in a competition); "several of his submissions were
rejected by publishers"; "what was the date of submission of your
proposal?"
"Post" seems to be more popular because it's used by Blogger, etc. but I
would prefer "entry".
