Last test, I promise. I’ve set up the ability to post to my blog by
email using the instructions found here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_by_Email
Plus I set up a CRON job to check a few times an hour and publish what
was found.
I was easy to setup and configure. The one thing I stumbled on was
making sure the WordPress user who’s email address I would be sending
from had an appropriate role to publish without being moderated.
The one thing I wish was different is that each line of text in an
email message is wrapped at 80 characters. For my current theme that
is no big deal but I can see it being a design problem with a
different width of the content area. Oh well, not my problem right
now.

Just a test of posting to this blog from an email message. Please
pardon the amount of text I am trying to fill this communication with
but I want to see how well it handles long lines, paragraghs, and
everything. I fear that the email transmission will cut the lines at
80 characters and they will then not wrap well once in the blog
template. This ends paragraph one.
Paragraph two starts following two returns. One at the end of the
first paragraph and a second one to create a space between the first
paragraph and the second paragraph. This ends my first test. Please
pardon my test. I’ll try not to do too many. Thank you.
