Testing blog by email

One little used feature that I haven’t gotten around to testing until now is WordPress’ post-by-email. It’s been around for as long as I’ve been using WordPress, yet I never did get used to the idea of opening a mail client and submitting blog posts in that manner. It requires an update process either through an activation URL or via Cron job. More info can be found in the WordPress Codex. For this blog, I installed and used the Postie plugin. Here’s to breaking new ground!

  1. Well it didn’t exactly work as planned, whether due to a plugin conflict or unpredicted behavior. I disabled Postie and will have to look toward other means of remote publishing.

  2. Giving the Postie plugin another shot…it seems the newest version supports cronless post-by-mail. So I’m giving this a whirl!
