There are three methods that I am aware of (perhaps more)

1 via a web UI....slow and cumbersome and assumes access to the server
2. email posting but can be tricky if not suitable spam management and access 
controls but strength is that it does not require direct access to the server 
(my preferred method but I have a bias)
3. sessions: a remote editor opens a session on the server, edits or creates 
data that is uploaded to the server via ftp, webdav, ssh or other. This 
method requires client software to be installed to handle session management. 
(see zope/plone for an example; ie: external editor is the name of the 
product)

There is also some xml stuff used on some blogs that I dont quit understand so 
cant comment on it.
