    “Hi, I heard someone stopped by our Co-op and talked about needing things for your expanded store. We have lots of stuff left over after our expansion. I did put a lot of it on Craig’s List. We have Lozier type shelving, beautiful wood wine racks and bulk coffee and tea racks, bulk bins, hot food merchandiser, chicken roaster, bulk liquid shelf for gallon bottles, a bulk dog food wood shelf a stainless steel 8′ table and more. Call me or e-mail and let me know if you want to see pictures, although I did put them on Craig’s list too.”

    How To: Email Blogging Is Fun And Easy:

    Blogging is fun. But for some, to go through the trouble of logging in, and learning another new interface is more than they might want to do or have time to do.

    Having others write posts for your blog is also fun and this too is where Email Blogging can really help. To blog while your traveling might also be a great time to make use of the convenience of Email Blogging.

    Email Blogging is where you simply send compose an email as a blog post and then send that email to a secret email address (for your blog) and the blog either automatically posts the email as a blog post or adds it to the queue of posts as a draft (ready for the final edit before posting) that you can publish at your leasure.

    Here is a quick HOW TO on Email Blogging:

  • Email Blogging Subject Is Required And Will Show Up In Blog As The Title

    Posted on June 5th, 2009 VitalBodies 1 comment

    Bold Will Show Up In The Blog as Bold:
    Each post will most likely have text. Do not use tables or anything fancy, keep the post simple for a consistent look through out the blog. The main reason to keep it simple is so that the post works in any template or theme that we use for the blog.

    Images: Images will show up in blog right were you placed them in the email. Images that appear within the blog should be no wider than 475 px so that they can work with most templates and not mess up the blog. Images can link to a bigger image though.  Do not place images at the bottom of the post as they tend to conflict with the post below.

    Notes: Do not include email signatures or other email stuff like headers or replies or forwards or attachments as it just clutters your post and the blog as a whole.

    Timeless: Remember, this is a blog post and should be written with that in mind and not just an email. Thus state the basics that you might know, but the reader might not. Using phrases like “today” (today when?) or “new” (new when?) or “here” (where is here?) do not really convey the whole story to the reader. “We need” (who is we?) should be “Food Share of Newport Oregon needs” etc.

    At the end of the email include what ever TAGS or KEYWORDS you like in a comma separated format. Tags are words people might use to search for your blog post.
