I can't seem to find a true restful Blog API - are there any? I'm writing some blog software and wondered if there was a standard restful API, if not I'll go buy the RESTful Web Services book and design my own.

How about AtomPub?

Atom is the name of an XML-based Web content and metadata syndication format, and an application-level protocol for publishing and editing Web resources.

It isn't limited to blogs, but blogs certainly fall under the realm of applications are used for "publishing and editing Web resources".

AtomPub is being used in many places now, with Microsoft's Live services, Google's GData, and many blog systems. Learning it now would be a great idea.

Exactly what i was looking for - i'd forgotten Atom had a publishing spec as well, +1 stackoverflow ;)

I don't know about REST, but have you look at MetaWeblog API? It's XML-RPC though.
