Another test... posting via e-mail

New Test

In this test I'm trying to add posts using e-mail. Since I chose HTML as my e-mail format, the post should reflect all the formatting changes I made to this text; I added a background to the e-mail to see how it will post.

The second part of the test is to send a post deliberately from an account that is not my g-mail account, just to see what happens.

Here goes...

(Edit: a few minutes later)


So, the background didn't work... I had to take it off and re-send the post. The other thing was I had the message sent to my blog as a draft and when I tried to publish got a weird error message regarding my HTML, but the blog gave me the choice to ignore the error and when I did, it posted ok.

To e-mail posts, here's what you need to do:

1. Go to the dashboard and in your blog choose the "Settings" tab
2. In settings, go to the e-mail tab
3. Configure the e-mail for the blog as required
4. Choose whether you want posts to go straight into the blog or go as draft.

This is a nice procedure for being able to post from practically anywhere as long as you have access to e-mail.
