Using Jetpack, users can post to their SB You blogs by e-mail. This is especially useful on mobile devices who’s in browser WordPress experience might be degraded. Its great for simple publishing on the go.
Step 1: Authorize Jetpack
Log in to your blog, access the dashboard, click on the Jetpack menu item, click the authorize button.
Step 2: Create or use existing wordpress account
You’ll need to setup a wordpress account in order to complete the JetPack authorization. To do this you’ll need to enter your e-mail address, choose a unique username and password (this is not related to your NetID credentials and best practices would dictate that you should use a different password than your NetID Password.)
Step 3: Activate Post By E-mail Under JetPack
Once authorized, you can turn on different JetPack settings, in this example we want to activate the Post By E-mail Setting
Step 4: Enable Post by E-mail Under User Profile
Under your user profile you should now see an enable post by e-mail configuration option. By enabling it, WordPress.Com will create you a unique e-mail address that is tied to your blog.
Step 5: Happy Blogging
Here’s the question … can more than one blog user have a different email for the same site? In other words, I have one … and Rich would have one … both for the same site? That is how I want to do it in my class where there is only one blog for everyone.
Well, I was able to post to your blog as you with the post by email address … not a good feature. This is not viable for my class.
Ok, more testing … I just added my SA account to my class blog and activated post by email and can post to the site with a different email address associated with my identity.That means multiple authors can in fact post to a single blog as themselves with their own super secret email address — they just have to keep that address private.
Rich I will add you to the course site and you can test it out.
