For example,

• Create a new weblog
• Freeze, retire, suspend a weblog
• Merge weblogs x, y, and z
• Delete a weblog
• Copy or move an entire weblog from this server to that server
• Create a new weblog by extracting some content from weblog x

This would enable programmatic control over a weblog by an authorized system or person.

For instance, you may want your HR system to automatically generate a weblog for each new employee, and freeze it when the employee leaves the company. Or to manage multiple blog servers (made by different vendors) using one admin tool. [PhilWolff]
