Until your input fields are blank, no value is stored in model and you POST empty article object. You can fix it by creating client side validation or set default empty string value on needed fields before save.

First of all you should create new Article object in scope variable then pass newPost by params or access directly $scope.newPost in addArticle fn:

app.controller('ArticlesCtrl', function($scope, Article) {
  $scope.articles   = Article.query();
  $scope.newPost    = new Article();

  $scope.addArticle = function(newPost) {
    if (newPost.title == null) {
      newPost.title = '';
    }
    // or if you have underscore or lodash:
    // lodash.defaults(newPost, { title: '' });
    Article.save(newPost);
  };
});

If you want use CRUD operations you should setup resources like below:

$resource('/articles/:id.json', { id: '@id' }, { 
  update: {
    method: 'PUT'
  }
});
