How do I set up my blog to post by email?
My blog is hosted on hostgator and I have already set up a new email address in my cpanel like [email protected]
In wp-admin at my blog in Settings-Writing I have set up the mail server, login name and password.
After looking at instructions at http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_by_Email
I have put this code in my footer (after editing it to refer to my blog domain)
<iframe src="http://yourblogdomain/wordpressinstalldir/wp-mail.php" name="mailiframe" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" title=""></iframe>
which still didn't work. After searching for a solution I read a post that said the 'secretword' I am using in my email address has to be registered as a user on the blog or it won't work - so I have done that - still doesn't work!
I have tried using Postie plugin and have also tried Posterous which will post to my blog but only what I send from my own email address, so no good for autoblogging.
I am going nuts trying to figure this out and it is giving me a headache!
I really need a blonde proof step-by-step guide how to do this. I have spent hours searching on this forum and others without success.
Please, Please, Please can anyone help?
