Posting to your Blog using Blogger: Post an entry using an email address

[Posted by Liberty Miller, July 22 2007, 5:15 pm (gmt-7)]

Blogger has a feature that allows you to post to your blog by writing your blog entry as an email, then sending that email to blogger.
Blogger will then either post it immediately, or will just save it in your account as a draft (so that it won't appear on your blog until you log in to Blogger.com and publish it yourself).

To use this feature, you have to go to the blogger dashboard and look for the 'email' tab.

Then what you do is you make up a "secret word" extension for your email address. This functions as a kind of password. The format of the email address is username.secretword@blogger.com . Note that this email address must be kept secret; anyone who gets it will be able to post to your blog.

(TIP: This means don't Cc: anyone on the blog post email you send.)

(.. Dear google, ...)
The option that decides whether you want the email to post right away, or just remain in your account is NOT clear for new users. If you want the email to post right away, check the box next to [] Publish.
