Blogger does not change the post URL, otherwise known as the permalink or slug if you change the post title after first publishing. With "old Blogger" you could change a post title and the URL would also update. Not so with the "new Blogger"! This behavior can be a giant pain, as I just discovered.
If the post URL is way off-base, it can confuse readers. The only thing you can do is copy its contents to a new post and delete the old one.
If you are very motivated, you could take advantage of this behavior to create user-friendly URLs. Publish the post with a short title that uses your key words. Then change the post title and republish. Notice that the title of this post and its URL are slightly different.
I also use WordPress, which allows you to edit the permalink/slug as needed. This is a great feature, but I don't expect it to be added to Blogger, which likes to keep things simple.
