emailing pics to your posts

updated Feb 2018
I see quite a few girls complaining about the up load time for photos in blogger.....or ipads' phones, programs not talking to blogger properly...........
I used to have this trouble (take 30 mins to upload one photo) but now I email all pics to my blog post and then go in edit and write the words.

this might help you out.........

To setup in your blog

login into you blog
from the dashboard go to "settings" then "email"
in the mail to box you will need to put "(a word)"

say your email is
smith@ hotmail.com

and your blog name is www.sewingroom.blogspot.com

then it will probably have something like already there

smith7.________________@blogger.com
you will need to write in your secret word (of choice) so it could be

smith7.sewing@blogger.com (write this down)

then choose save emails as drafts

Save Settings - this is then setup...........(add the email address to your email address book)

Now how to post

go into your pictures and find the photo/photos you want to post (what goes in an email is in the post)

Select your photos so they are highlighted then right click on your photo/s
choose
Send to mail recipient (using you regular email account eg outlook express, gmail etc) then choose make my pictures smaller and click OK
If you want to send lots of photos I send about 6 at the most per email and then open the draft, copy the pics and paste  into the one you want to publish if you want to have stacks of photos in one post.

your email program will then open

type in your email address

smith7.sewing@blogger.com

your email subject will become the post title
then click
send


Now once this is sent go into your blog and go to edit posts
the email will be saved as a draft - edit draft and I usually make sure there is a space between the photos and type in what you want then post as usual...........
I add my text to the draft post as it goes in the order I want then........

sometimes you may want to go to post options down the bottom and change the time of your post as it gives it the time when you sent the email edit: this has now changed with an update of blogger and it will automatically post the the time you click publish unless you set it to come on at a later date...........sometimes I send several emails of various pics to my blog and then go in and edit and post each when I am ready.............

Good luck hope this helps...........

.........take care til next time.....Chookyblue.........
