Well I’ve just discovered a new tool in my effort to stay current with my blogs. I am a user of the Google Blogspot web service (based at blogger.com). I recently opened my Dashboard to begin a new posting and noted that each site has an email icon next to a mobile phone icon.
It appears that one can now create a secret email address that will allow one to send an email which results in a blog posting. Tada! End of problems regarding how to find time to stay current with blogging. An interesting note is that one can probably send one email to multiple recipients (blog sites) and see multiple posts. Double Tada!!
Well light bulb just went off in my head. Everyone has time for an email. Everyone does. Since many folks no longer write letters this new technology allows folks to get a grip on their many blogs (sometimes simultaneously). Well this first post of the new blogging error is within the context of how to use the new technology.
HOW TO SET UP EMAIL BLOGGING
- Login to blogger and view your dashboard
- For each blog site click the email icon and add a secret word to create a unique email address
- On your phone / email program – create a new contact (I use @blog-name for my contacts so they are easy to find)
- For each contact set up the secret email address you created in step 2
- Create a message and send it to the contacts you have configured
Feedback, comments, critiques are all welcome. Be well and happy blogging.
