Blogging via email

Often finding myself in airports with time to kill, I suddenly started wondering if there wasn’t a quick and easy way to keep up with my blog.

Sure enough, a few seconds with Google and I came up with the answer – blogging via e-mail.

Before you can use this feature, you do need to configure it, but it is very straightforward.

1) Sign on to your blog and click on the ‘Select’ tab.

2) Select ‘e-mail’ from the list of options that appear directly below the tab settings.

3) You’ll see a field called ‘Mail-to-Blogger address’ which is made up of the following components:

· ‘Your blog name’, followed by a period.

· A blank field where you can enter a secret word that will make up part of your blogging by mail email address.

· A ‘Publish’ check box (if you check this, your blog entry will be automatically posted; if not, you’ll have to go in manually and publish your blog to post your entry.

All you do is fill this in, and then you can send you mail-in blog to the following address:

Blogname.secretword@blogger.com
