menuu - I received your PM but my post count is too low to reply. Anyway, this will help... Setting up iAutoblog with Wordpress isn't as hard as everyone is making it out to be.
Here's How to Set Up iAutoblog with Wordpress Sites:
1. Set up a dedicated email address (No public services like gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc..). I set up a new email account in the cPanel of my domain. After everything is set up, all emails sent to this address will create a new post on your site. So - keep it secret, keep it safe.
2. In Wordpress, navigate to Settings > Writing and fill in the details. The login name is the email address. To find the mail server and port number, refer to your web hosting provider's FAQ or manual pages. The port number is usually 110. If you are using a cPanel email address, click 'configure email client' under the 'More' drop-down box in the Email Accounts section. The information is listed under 'Manual Settings'. Use the Incoming Mail Server and POP port number. Once you've entered the mail server, login name, password, and default category, click Save Changes.
3. Navigate to Appearance > Editor and select the 'footer.php' template on the right. Throw this iframe into the footer code:
Edit the code so that "wp-mail.php URL" is the URL of your 'wp-mail.php' file. By default, it will be "h t t p ://yourdomain/wp-mail.php" (without spaces). Keep the quotes around it. Save changes.
4. Test it out by sending an email to your new dedicated email address. The subject line will become the title and the body text will become, well, the body text. It may take a few minutes for the post to appear on your site. Keep refreshing the page!
5. Now set up new iAutoblog campaigns with your new dedicated email address as the 'Email-id'. Set up email forwarders if you wish to receive a copy of the posts via email. iAutoblog has instructions on how to do this once you set up the campaign.
Good Luck!
