BLOG: How do I post via email?

.
A new feature for many users, Mail-to-Blogger turns any email account into a blog-posting application.

To post to your blog via email, you need to configure your Mail-to-Blogger email address in Settings-Email.

The format of the email address is: username.secretword@blogger.com. Note that this email address must be kept secret. Unless you want your blog to be spammed.

Also be sure to specify whether or not you prefer your email posts to publish automatically or saved as drafts to be published later.

Once you have saved your Settings, you can send email to your blog. The subjects of your email letters will be the titles of your posts, and the body of the emails will be the posts themselves.

Note that by default Mail-to-Blogger only posts to your blog. If you wish for it to publish as well, you'll need to click the Publish option.

Notes:
* Sometimes email programs append text to the bottom of each sent message; to make sure this cruft doesn't get posted to your blog, put "#end" at the end of your post.
* Mail-to-Blogger does not yet work with image attachments.
