Making a Post via Email

Hi Class --

When I got home after the class, I saw I sent the email post to the wrong address ... again. I was in too much of a hurry, I guess.

So, I've done it again, this time with a little more care. This post has been composed as an email and sent to my "secret" posting address.

Using "post by email" can be a very handy way to keep your blog updated while traveling.

As we pointed out in class, it is very important to keep your secret post address SECRET. Because anyone sending to that address can post to your blog. To configure your secret Email Posting Address...

* Log into your blog
* Click the Settings Tab
* Select email

The format of the email address is:

[your user name].[Your secret word]@blogger.com

Your user name is fixed for every blog you do under your google account. "Your secret word" can be configured for each blog you have. You can change it from time to time if you want.

OK ... I'm sending this. If it shows up as a post, it worked!
