That's true... And by all means don't choose an easy address such as "info" or "webmaster" for post by email.

Perhaps this will work: create an email address of your choice (using Google Apps or your current email provider) and have it forward all messages automatically to your secret post-by-email address.

Using the "My Blogs" method will give me a random (and fairly crufty) email address, which I know will trip up the group members who'll struggle to remember the right address. Can I specify a name for my post-by-email address, using our custom domain?

The closest I've found to this on the Forum got sidetracked into using Google mail for the drop box. I've already paid WP for the domain; can't I use it for the secret email box?

once you enabled the post by email service you can easily post. just finish your email and for selecting category , tag, or any thing else just use these brackets

[catagory short naname of your catagory]

for example if i want to post " is it a crush , and i want to post it in catagory"ABOUT ME", I will simply write

[catagory about]

no special codding

its good to use post by email service i am exploring more and more by trying and error method.

still 10% is left

1- can we send content in our web pages directly through "post by email" So far i am not succeeding
2- IF I WANT TO USE " short link" service after post has been published can i do.

Possible reasons why post by email messages might not be getting through include:
* the message is spam
* the message is being sent by an automated program or a script (this is not allowed)

What type of content is contained in the email you are trying to post? Did you send the email from an automated program or using a script?

I have an issue with the Post by email feature.
It doesn't work when I send emails to it.

I read everything on the Post By Email support page ( http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/ ), but I couldn't find a solution. I write my emails in rich text format, still they are rejected and WordPress.com won't publish them. Now my question is, why are some of the messages getting rejected from your end?

If needed, I can paste the source code of the emails I am sending. I guess something must be wrong with that.

Greetings and thanks in advance,
Pieter-Jan

I tried to set the dashborad->settings->media settings-> images sizes for thumb nails, medium images and large images, and auto imbeds but when I post by email the images (included as email attachments) seem to be the native size of the image.

How can I specify the image size when I post by e-mail?

Also the image attachments to the email come after the text of the email post. Can I have them put before the text?

I'm using tag, status, nogallery, and end short codes.

I'm a new user moving from blogger because their post by email isn't working so I'm an experienced blogger but don't know my way around wordpress yet.

Thanks,

It allows you to post to your blog by email. There's no way to deal with Admin functions like configuring widgets by email.

As far as centering images or making one the featured image, I'd suggest that directly to WordPress.com Support http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

I can use the comments section of a page, but instead of approving the comment, just copy and paste it into a post instead. The user won't even notice the difference this way.

I was hoping there would be some round-about way of doing it, perhaps by send the email to another WordPress.com site then routing the posts from that over to the original one perhaps via RSS, but there doesn't seem to be a way of doing that from what I can see. I guess that sort of functionality could be abused by spammers so I don't think it's even worth requesting it.

I'm guessing this isn't possible after all. Darn.
