Setting Email Blogging Options
To use Email Blogging, you should first set up an exclusive email account that you send messages to for uploading to your blog. You send the blog entry in an email message to the specified email account, and then Quick Blogcast uploads the message as a blog entry. The Email Blogging feature only accepts email blogging messages sent to the specified email account and sent from an email address of an active author listed in the Author area.
To Set Email Blogging Options
- From the Manage Blog menu, select Settings.
- Go to the Email Blogging tab.
- In the Email Address field, type the email address you want to send blogging messages to.
CAUTION: We recommend that you DO NOT use your regular email address to set up email blogging. After the application processes the email messages in your inbox, all of the messages are deleted from your email account and uploaded to your blog as blog entries.
- In the Mail Server field, type the address for your mail server. If you do not know your mail server address, check the documentation on your mail server's Web site.
- In the Port field, specify the port number for the mail server. The default port is 110 for most mail servers. Unless you know your mail server provider has changed this default, please leave it set to 110.
- In the Username and Password fields, specify the user name and password you use for logging in to the account. The user name may be your full email address, depending on the email client you use. Make sure you use the full user name for logging in to the account.
- From the Default Category list, select the category you want to add email blog entries to.
TIP: You may want to create a new category, such as Email, for these entries. This makes it easy to distinguish them from your other entries. For more information about creating categories, see Managing Catagories.
- To moderate entries before publishing them, select Require Moderation.
- Click Save.
