Having spent most of the evening yesterday, trying to connect my WordPress blog to receive posts via email, I finally gave up unsuccessful, deflated. I was unable to use the inherent email features of WordPress and so moved to WP plugin Postie setting up a bespoke gmail account for this purpose.
The reason – I had this bizarre idea that I might be able must use iOS Siri to record my thoughts and autopost them direct to this blog via email. Of course I failed miserably, after sending 5 or 6 test posts.
So, not one to give up after just an hours effort for no gain, i searched online and finally contacted my AMAZING hosting provider, Velox.
The team resolved the issues with ease and a knowing assurance the Velox team continues to demonstrate any time I get in contact.
As a result, all the test posts flooded through. So I am indeed very sorry.
So pick out the key points of this post – I now have my bespoke email account, I have Siri working (but could use Dragon Diction), and I published this post via WP plugin Postie. Success!
