You can easily email blog entries directly to your Quick Blogcast site. However, you must first set up your account to use email blogging, including specifying an email address to send from and determining if each entry will be moderated or directly posted to your blog. For assistance setting up your account for this feature, see Setting Email Blogging Options.

Submit email blog entries using the following settings:

From Address
You must send all email blog entries from the email address you specified in your settings.
To Address
To assist you with email blogging, we create a unique email address for you to send your entries.
Subject
The subject of your email message displays as the title of your blog entry.
Category
You can specify a category in the email by adding a category line at the top of the email body. For example, type "Category:category name" at the top of your email message body. If the category name does not yet exist, the system creates it for you and places the entry in that category. Email entries sent without without specifying a category are posted under the default category.

NOTE: It is important to add a blank line after the category. Failure to include this empty line results in your entire post displaying as the category title.

Blog Entry
Type or paste your blog entry into the email body field.
