One problem with blog posts is that you can't easily edit the blog post title, unlike a normal Confluence page where you can rename the page. You have to remove the blog post, then create a new blog post with a different title, then as cut and past the contents of your old blog post to the new blog post.

Perhaps we could have a link under Blog Post Operations where we can rename the blog post title?

It is absolutely essential that we can edit blog post titles.

Particularly because we have loads of snip-snap imported blog posts whose titles have been munged by the importer (due to confluence char restrictions for page titles...)

I think the capability is there - but just not exposed via the UI?

Next version pls?

I'm using Confluence 1.3.5 and one of my users just noticed that he can't change blog titles. I'd also like to see this feature available.

As the creator of this issue suggested, you can copy the body of the blog post into a new entry, but you can't copy the comments easily!

Hi,
Yes, it should be done. It won't appear in Confluence 1.4, given the current workload and schedule but it is something to prioritize for a future release.

Cheers,
Nick

The issue is not primarily in the renaming (which is trivial), but in refactoring any links to the existing news item. There is a nasty problem with our link-renaming code that makes this harder than it should be. Once we fix that problem, news renaming should be trivial.
