Overview

Can I post to my blog via email?

Yup! We’ve made it incredibly easy to post from your desktop or mobile phone. Just send an email to the custom email address for the blog you’d like to publish to.

How do I find my email address for mobile + email publishing?

1. Click your blog's name at the top of your Dashboard or under the list icon at the top right.
2. Click "Blog settings" on the right side of the page.
3. You’ll find your private email address in the “Post by Email” section. (You can always reset this if you’re having issues publishing.)

Can I use Markdown to create rich text formatting?

Yes, just be sure to include !m in any part of the email’s subject or body to enable Markdown. The !m code will automatically be removed from the final version.

Troubleshooting

What if I’m having trouble with email publishing?

A few tips:

• Send posts directly to your mobile posting email address. You cannot email another email address and then forward the email from there.
• Make sure the mobile posting email address is in the “To” field; it cannot go in the “CC” or “BCC” field.
• Check for typos in the mobile posting email address. Try resetting your mobile posting email address on the Settings page.
