Automatically posting to Wordpress blog via email.

    Hi there,

    We're new to both Wordpress, and to blogging. We recently became involved in a new blog, www.college-cooking.com, which is based upon the Wordpress software.

    None of us are programming experts, or blogging experts, by any means! We're trying to learn as much and as quickly as we can. We've figured out a fair bit from blogging forums, youtube, and from the info website for Wordpress.

    One thing that we can't figure out how to do (or if it's even possible!) is whether we can post to our blog automatically via email. Does anyone know if this is possible? Is there a widget we can use for this?

    Thanks for any help anyone can give!:)

    Sorry, I meant to ask add another question if that's ok.

    We changed the Wordpress 'theme' once about a month ago, but somehow we also screwed up all of our images and dimensions in the process. Is this normal when changing Wordpress themes?

    Is there any way to save all of the 'code' in a file, so if this happens again, we can just paste it in somewhere?

    Thanks (again), and sorry for the double post!

    You want to post your blog posts to people's emails automatically? Use "RSS"..you can set up a "feed" of your blog, and then put an email capture form on your site. When people subscribe via email, they'll get blog updates automatically. You can do this thru feedburner.
