Blogging via the mail

This is yet another test, and possibly the last, of posting via e-mail.
I use Movable Type, probably the most popular piece of blogging software
in use (not counting sites that host blogs, such as BlogSpot). One of
MT’s big drawbacks is that it doesn’t come with a way to post to your
blogs by mail.

I’ve tried several third-party add-ins that are supposed to let you do
just that, but none have worked. Today I stumbled upon MEOW, and for the
first time I’m able to send a message to a particular address which MEOW
checks. If there’s mail there, it posts it to the blog. A very neat setup.

I had some minor problems getting it to work, but now all seems well,
which is why I’m willing to put up test messages.
