Ask HN: Any Mail-to-Blog Services?

2 points by robbiejs 4y ago ↗ HN

In the past, I used Posterous. I just wrote an email to myblog@posterous.com and the email would be posted to my blog. The email could contain images and videos as attachments, and the blog service would post them too.

Posterous is long gone unfortunately. Does anyone know a (simple) blog website that offers the same feature?

Thanks!

For email threads, fwdeveryone.com. (Attachments are temporarily disabled for most users, although I can send you a workaround if you need that in the short term.)

For individual emails, posthaven is the successor to posterous.

Thank you for your suggestions, Posthaven looks promising, will try it out!

Google's blogger.com / blogspot.com supports this.

Thank you.

I have seen it, but I do not like the Google Blogger interface. Also afraid that, like so many other Google products in the past, it could be taken down at any time.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah, I think that's a reasonable fear. I don't have a better suggestion sorry.
