I’m trying to get back all my “lost” functionality that I had at
Blogger. Post by email is one of them (actually, I think its the last
one too). WordPress 2.0 has the feature but setting up is more
challenging so I guess I can’t call it “lost”.

Blogger has it setup automatically. all you have to do is create the
email address @ blogspot.com and whatever is emailed there, gets
posted.

WordPress is a little different (at least with the hosted services I
have, anyway). You have to generate create an email address with your
host provider, then configure the post by email in the setup of the
blog. When that’s done, you have to setup a cron job to invoke the
command that publishes.

This email is a test of that cron job.

I hope this works.
