What’s the word that encompasses both creating something and editing it?
I want to use a term to covers both creating and editing some entity, say a blog post or a comment in a blog. Which word should I use?
The verb form of author encompasses both creating and editing a work of some kind.
Jill authored her personal web site using Fireworks.
I think the word producing (or production) could cover both writing and editing.
Produce has these definitions:
Used about things that someone makes or designs using a lot of skill or effort
To create by physical or mental effort
To yield, make or manufacture; to generate.
Whereas you are referencing blog posts I would use the phrase WIP for Work In Progress. That phrase also has a connotation of Superordinating; that is to say it's similar to a Hyponym. Also Rudimentary or Rough-Hewn or Unfledged; there are several others as well, all of which establish that you are in the process of creating and perfecting. Hope this helps.
