![]() ![]() ![]() there was at one point a security concern or two about the plugin, but that seems to have been addressed–more on that below. Before that, it hadn’t seen an update since mid-2011. The plugin was last updated in August of this year. But if you’re used to how LiveJournal and maybe Blogger do email posting (Does Blogger even do email posting anymore?), it shouldn’t take too much getting used to. the plugin lets you specify things like categories and whatnot in the actual email itself, or in the subject in some cases–part of what takes some getting used to. If you create an email address (can be Gmail, if you don’t want or don’t have access to create one on your own domain), then hand the login details to that address to the Postie plugin, anything you send to that address will, if the email address you use is authorised, become website material. You could write the whole damn batch in MS Word or somesuch, or, you could play with this plugin. Or in your case, your site’s way too evil for you to post to from work. Let’s say you get wicked uber popular and your site gets recognised enough that certain overactive filtering systems–I’m looking at you, most corporate firewalls–decide you’re just way too evil for people to read at work. General usage takes some getting used to, but that can be lived with. For the most part, it does what it’s supposed to. The plugin I tested for that purpose, the only one that before didn’t really overly irritate me, was Postie. So I mentioned I started experimenting with posting by email, for not the first time, on this blog.
