edit_post vs. save_post

Edit post: you can edit the post you already made.

Save post: when you made a post you click on the save, to put it on the web.

So does edit_post get called when you save a new post?

And does save_post get called when you save changes to an existing post?

I just don’t understand what the difference is and when each is called – i.e. why there are two different hooks, and in what circumstances I should use each one.

Edit_post get called, when you are logt in as admin. The link will also show only for you on your blog.

The differents between edit and save is pretty clear I think. If you could not edit a post anymore, but after saving you see something realy looking clombsy, then you would be happy you could edit ??

So edit_post gets called when you load the editing form, as opposed to when you save the edits?
