Testing: Email by Blog

on: May/26/04 and its been viewed 1,228 times

WordPress has this great feature available that allows you to post to you blog by email.  You set up a specific email address for this and any email that is sent to that email will be posted to your blog So, for instance, you wouldn’t want to use your normal email otherwise any email that is sent to it (by friends, family, etc) would be posted to the frontpage.  That would be really bad news, for some - plus all your spam would be posted.  Ick!

Let’s give it a whirl and see if it works.

    Kewl I got mine to work, but for some reason the time is off by an hour. Oh well, just means I have to wait an hour before posts show up. Unless…anyone got any idea how I can fix it?
