Updating Your Blog

[espmartin]

I have used the blog-by-email feature that WordPress offers, and have found
it to be very convenient. Especially whey your on the road without a laptop,
or no availability of a public PC - and your readershio expects daily posting.

This means that if you have email setup on your phone, as most service plans
offer today, it's just a matter of texting to your WordPress post-by-email account.

I did not know about this feature. Can you setup the emails address or is it assigned to you? How do I learn more about Wordpress Blogs?

You can setup remote email access from your WordPress blog admin panel and it does not have to be the same as your main admin email.

I just prefer updating my site from the admin panel, I guess I just rather use the "old ways"

Theres always the issue with spam - when I did it i set it up to have a special code included in the email that was like an access key to post it.

I HIGHLY recommend you create a crazy email address for this, and do NOT
share it. Make it a really unique Krazy name, as ANY email sent to the address
you configure in WordPress will post to your blog :cray:

Same here, but as I posted originally, this is a great option when needed

Great info and I look forward to trying to post by email

Just a note about this. Make sure your email message is set to plain text ONLY. Or
it will not work

Yes - that's the way to go!!! But...what if you had only your PDA/cell phone
available?

That's the main drawback with posting from pda or such.

Unless it's a question of life and death I will wait till I get to available computer somewhere. Nowadays you can plugin to the internet from most hotels and aiports. There are also tons of internet cafe all over the world...
