Ever thought it would be a lot easier if you could make blog posts directly from your GMail or yahoo mail inbox. But it’s possible too. Blogger allows this option of having a unique email address to which you can send an email such that the subject of the mail becomes the title and the body becomes the blog post.
To do this, you should create a Mail-to-Blogger address which you will use to send posts via email to your blog by going to Settings | Email
The format of the email address is username.secretword@blogger.com .
Here, the secret word is something that we can specify so that only we may send emails to the blog.
Otherwise, you can also make your email public so that others can post to your blog. But, when doing this, make sure that the posts are not published immediately, because, in that case, this feature, like anything else, may be misused.
Sometimes email programs append text to the bottom of each sent message; to make sure this cruft doesn’t get posted to your blog, put #end at the end of your post.

Subscribe to my Substack Newsletter
As you might have noticed, social media these days prioritize engagement and doesn’t really let people build relationship with an audience. One way to take back some control is to directly be connected to your favorite authors, artists, etc through e-mail. And that’s what subscribing to my newsletter is about, too. I’m intentionally staying away from substack (which is susceptible to enshittification), and self-hosting the newsletter. What that means is also that the mails could land in spam. So, please press “Not spam” if they do end up in spam. Thank you!
