Blogging via email

Here is the fastest way to publish your blog all over the place.  First, create a fresh blog on blogger.com. Then, view the blog.

add  /feeds/posts/default?alt=rss to the address of your blog

 

http://888leeerik.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

 

This is the RSS feed of your blog.  Now, go to facebook notes, your websites, any place that lets you post your blog feed. (This works best if these are actually your own websites, that way you can highlight or promote your feed too).

 

Then, set up your blogger.com blog "Mail2Blogger" email address under the blog settings. They will probably make you use some kind of long, hard too remember email address.  That's okay if you simply add it to your email address book as "Blog" or something like that, but I switch computers a lot and never manage to hang on to my contact lists for very long, so I just set up a new email account with an easy-to-remember-but-unlikely-to-get-spam address that forwards to the blogger address.

 

I'm also writing this because I'm about to test what I just said.

 

Cheers,
