This will be interesting



In preparation for heading off on vacation this summer, I've configured my blog to accept email posts. Blogger allows you to "check on" an option setting for this purpose. You can then send posts to a secret destination email address hosted by blogger and, if you so choose, they'll be posted and published immediately.



So this is the first test of that system.



As an aside, Blogger has added a feature that allows you to post photos to your blog using your IM client. What's cool is that a "blogger bot" hangs around in your buddy list, waiting for you to message it. When you want to post a photo, you just IM the bot and send it the JPG. Blogger will even host the photo for you (which is a policy change for them, to be sure).



What I haven't figured out is whether you can do this without an IM client. Now that would be very cool.
