Sunday, August 26, 2012

This is just a test - checking out another alternative method to using the new blogger interface.

OKAY! Version 2.03 of Flock running on Windows ME via dial-up - this particular version of Flock based on Mozilla/Gecko/Firefox.

Add this to the list of alternative ways to post to blogger:

Here are even MORE ALTERNATIVES!

From Google Docs
Email from Computer; Email from Cell Phone / Mobile Device;
SMS from Cell Phone; Using Jott from a Cell Phone
From BlogThis! bookmarklet (the quick way to recommend web pages)
To set up blog this bookmarklet, BlogThis! <-- drag this link to your browser's Links bar
From iGoogle using the Blogger Posting Gadget
From Gmail using the Blogger Posting Gadget
Setting up this takes a bit longer.

Go to Gmail Labs Settings
Enable "Add any gadget by URL", the last option in the list.
Save preferences
Now find the Gadgets tab in settings.
Enter the follwing URL in the "Add a gadget by its URL:" option
http://www.blogger.com/gadgets/post.xml
Now you will be able to see the gadget along with your chat and invite options.

Go to blogger dashboard.
Click on the mail icon to the left of your blog name.
Replace 'SecretWords' with words, letters or any other secret code of your own.
Remember the whole email id. (yourdomain.yoursecretwords@blogger.com)
Send a mail to this email id; the subject will be the title and body the content of the blog post thus created.
To further edit settings go to Settings | Email
Tip: Put #end at the end of your mail to avoid unnecessary additions by your mail program.
