Posting to Your Blog Using Email

This post is done using HTML formatting in my email client and emailed directly to Blogger to save time posting. If you have not tried this feature, you may want to enable it in the control panel and check it out.

What I have found is that it may actually be easier to do posting in this manner as Blogger does not yet have an automatic future blog publishing feature. The only thing to watch out for is line breaks. Push your enter key twice to make it look nice in your email and Blogger will interpret that as lots of extra spaces on your post.

One Last Test

Okay here is the bottom-line. If you use HTML as your email format, when you click enter, you will be making a line break. Click enter twice to leave a clear space on your email typing screen and you end up with too many line breaks in blogger. So it may be easier to work in text. However, if you want to add a hyperlink then text will not allow you to create the hyperlink and it will not be hot in your text when uploaded to Blogger.

Now I am trying removing the link field on my blog to see what happens to my title of my post. If I do not hyperlink my post title, it is too small for my liking and so I am now testing the change here as well.

Test of HTML Emailing of Blog Posts

Here is my test post sent via email using HTML as the format.

I have already deleted one test but have found that spacing in using HTML may be a problem. It may be best to send your post in plain text. But one criteria may be a link in the content. Here is a link to my website to see how a link turns out in text – www.McCordWeb.com.
