Part of the problem with these is that the APIs of the blog websites
has not remained constant. So you have blogger.el, which was written
for blogger.com when it used Atom 0.3, and e-blog which was written
for Atom 1.0 (possibly with Google extensions). Hopefully now that
Atom is an RFC specified protocol, any future changes will be
backwards compatible so changes needed to keep e-blog working should
be minimal.
