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.
