Posting via eMail

Everyone loves email, right? And you can post to this blog simply by writing an email--to your own private blog-to email address--and sending it. Here's how.

First follow the directions in your invite email for registering with this blog. Got that? Let me know if you need help with that. I'm going to check and see how many of you have managed that in a minute so...well. I will. That's all.

Once you are a registered blog author, here's what you do to secure an email address you can use to SEND emails here that show up as blog posts:

Click on the Settings tab from the basic dashboard, which should be the first thing you see. It looks like this:

Then click on Email from the menu you get. It looks like this:

See it? Okay, you should get this menu next:

Ignore that top bit about the BlogSend addresses. It's the bit on the bottom you want. Where it says Mail-to-Blogger Address, you will see your email, a blank spot, and blogger.com. (This example has mine.) Fill the blank section in with something you can remember. Then click Save Settings. Make a note of that address you just created by entering it in your email address book.

Now anything you send to that email address will show up here as a blog post. You can see an example of it in Dan's post.

Let me know if you need help with that!

Also, posting from Word 2007 is super easy so let me know if you use that and want directions.

Happy blogging!

Remember when....

Remember this?

That's the now-married Emma dancing on stage with that traditional Irish band we all went to see.

What were they called? The Merry Plowboys?

Amazing work, Dan and Christina

The Tynanwood travel-tech service is very impressive indeed!    I feel that we are in very capable hands.  

This is Just a Test of the Email System

If this test works, this email will show up as a blog post on the
Madd(en) Tynan Travels blog. And won't that be special?

Another Trip!

It started this morning. The seed for another trip with the greater Tynan/Madden tribe was planted by Maureen. And so we begin again! Woo-hoo!

The blog was lots of fun last time so I unearthed it, redecorated, dusted, and renamed. (Well, Dan picked the name.) I didn't clean out any of our posts from the Ireland trip, though, because there are so many memories there. **sniff** And one day in the distant future, when we sit in a pub in Ireland (or a desolate beach in Mexico if things have a little differntly than planned) all aged and dwelling on our memories, we will be able to look here for a full acount of all the Madd(en) Tynan travel adventures. (Provided they do something about the Internet access between now and then.)

Blogger has improved a lot since the last time we used it. So this time everyone gets their own account to log in and post with. You should be getting yours via email very soon. If not, well send me a note and I'll fx that (christina [at] tynanwood [dot] com.) You might need a gmail email address to do that but those are easy to get--and oh so hip. Your invite should walk you through that step-by-step. It should even provide you with an email address you can use for posting if you prefer that.
