Getting started with Blogger API v3

One of the foremost requested options that developers have for the Blogger JSON API is that the ability to create new posts. Blogger API v3 provides ability to edit and delete existing posts as well as search them using matching criteria patterns.
So have a quick guess what the following HTTP request does?
POST https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/blogs/8070105920543249955/posts/ HTTP/1.0
Host: www.googleapis.com
Authorization: Bearer <OAuth2 key>
Content-Type: application/json
{
"kind": "blogger#post",
"blog": {
"id": "8070105920543249955"
},
"title": "A new post",
"content": "With <b>exciting</b> content..."
}

Blogger API v3 of .net library is still beta version, so almost all of the online tutorials to operate Blogger's GData. This I spent at least one month to get it, Because Google API .net Client for Google Code Page ( https://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/wiki/GettingStarted ) did a very detailed tutorial, but did not say which platform is suitable for use, that version of visual studio fit, get this one takes up most of my time. But Google's APIs Explorer helped me a lot - https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/blogger/v3/ there are a lot of usage interface learned.

I found visual studio 2010 simply did not successfully compile Blogger API v3 of the code, I do not know why? But preliminary determination requires .net 4.5 (as in a source file which saw the await keyword), so installed visual studio 2012, after that the target framework into .net 4.0 and later will be successfully compiled. Only tried on Windows 7 with visual studio 2010 and Windows 8 with visual studio 2012 and.net 4.5, other operating systems have not tried.
