To add a new link just do this

Open app/design/frontend/default/TEMPLATE/layout/customer.xml

Add the following at the bottom before closing tag.

    <default>
    <reference name="top.links">
      <action method="addLink" translate="label title">
        <label>Blog</label>
        <url>YOUR-BLOG-URL</url>
        <title>Bloh</title>
        <prepare/>
        <urlParams/>
        <position>2</position>
        <liParams />
       <aParams><![CDATA[target="_blank"]]></aParams>
      </action>
    </reference>
    </default>

Just replace URL with your blog url

<customer_logged_out>
    <reference name="top.links">
        <action method="removeLinkByUrl">
            <url helper="customer/getRegisterUrl" />
        </action>
    </reference>
</customer_logged_out>

As mentioned before you can edit your local.xml file. It should be in your theme folder e.g.: app/design/frontend/yourpackage/yourversion/layout/local.xml If it´s not there you can create it. It`s a very good way to edit the layout xml for a theme.

Remove "My Account" for the default handle

<default>
    <reference name="top.links">
        <action method="removeLinkByUrl">
            <url helper="customer/getAccountUrl"/>
        </action>
    </reference>
 </default>

Add "Register" for the logged out handle

<customer_logged_out>
    <reference name="top.links">
        <action method="addLink" translate="label title">
            <label>Register</label>
            <url helper="customer/getLogInUrl"/>
            <prepare/>
            <urlParams/>
        </action>
    </reference>
</customer_logged_out>

Add "My Account" for the logged in handle

<customer_logged_in>
    <reference name="top.links">
        <action method="addLink" translate="label title">
            <label>Your Account</label>
            <url helper="customer/getAccountUrl" />
            <prepare/>
            <urlParams/>
            <liParams>
                <id>header-account-link</id>
            </liParams>
            <aParams/>
            <beforeText/>
            <afterText/>                 
        </action>
    </reference>
</customer_logged_in>

In app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/customer.xml you can find the possible handles and url helper etc.
