From looking at the code, it seems like `e-blog-auth' is empty. This
should only be the case if the authentication failed. Do you see
anything suspicious in the *Messages* buffer? It's hard to tell what
is going on without actually running the code. 8-)

Maybe it works if you try another action first? 

HTH,
