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>

Top-links are managed in magento through layout xml files. To add a link to top links, we need to add xml code to layout files.

Add Blog link with external URL

<default> <reference name="top.links"> <action method="addLink" translate="label title"> <label>Blog</label> <url>http://www.linktoblog.com</url> <title>Blog</title> <prepare>true</prepare> <position>2</position> </action> </reference> </default>

Remove register link

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

For more detail, you can refer below URLs:
