when say you say blogging, do you mean simply writing articles via 
the web interface and having them available via rss feeds?
if so, follow what brian bain said and test your rss feed to make sure
it works (add &theme=rss to the url) with your summary or view templates

if you mean being able to use a blogger client via xmlrpc you can install
the various bloggerapi  support modules like bloggerapi, moveabletype, or 
metaweblogapi. We don't support every bit of their apis afaik, but it should
be enough.  I was able to use the drivel application to post to my xaraya based 
blog via the ws.php script included in xaraya. Some of the apis support various 
things such as posting to multiple categories, but all depend on the bloggerapi 
module as they are extensions of the blogger api defined by blogger. There 
should be instructions on which argument to pass in the bloggerapi admin-main 
or overview. 

Let me know if you have any more questions. my explanation was a little rushed
due to other work i'm in the middle of.
