It works!

I did face a problem though. It was not in the documentation, which is the you have to put the full email@domain.com in the username field. I got the answer from here.

 

Deepest Sender Firefox Extension

Filed under: blogging, web — dosary @ 12:12 pm

I’m posting this entry from the Firefox Extension “Deepest Sender “. I’m trying to figure out the easiest way to post into WordPress, now that I’ve moved away from Blogger, which was very convenient to use.

[Edit]:

Now that I’ve tried, it seems that it doesn’t add much to posting directly through the blog. I just found this Javascript WordPress posting link , which is much more useful. I bookmark the script in my browser, and whenever I stumble upon a site that I want to blog about, I simply click the bookmark, and it opens a post box with the link in the body and the title of the page in the blog post title.

Now I’m going to try figure out the ‘post using email’ feature.
