Setting Email Blogging Options in Quick Blogcast
To assist you with email blogging, we automatically create a unique email address for you, which can be found in your Quick Blogcast® settings. You must send all email blogging entries to this address. Additionally, you must set up an exclusive email account from which you send messages to upload to your blog. The Email Blogging feature only accepts email blogging messages sent using the specified email address listed in your settings.

Sending Posts from your Email Account to your Quick Blogcast Blog
In order to post to your blog from your email account, the email message must contain specific information.
To Send Posts From your Email Account:
Submit email blog posts using the following settings:
- Send to email address
- To assist you with email blogging, we create a unique email address for you to send your entries.
- Send from email address
- You must send all email blog posts from the email address you specified in your settings.
- Default Category
- You can specify a category in the email by adding a category line at the top of the email body. For example, type "Category:category name" at the top of your email message body. If the category name does not yet exist, the system creates it for you and places the post in that category.
Email posts sent without without specifying a category are published under the default category.
NOTE: It is important to add a blank line after the category. Failure to include this empty line results in your entire post displaying as the category title.
- Blog Post
- Type or paste your blog post into the email body field.
