BlogMailr?
So Telligent released something called BlogMailr this week -- a web service that allows you to post to your blog via email. This post is more or less content-free; I just wanted to test the silly thing and see what it does. I'm using my web mail client at ASPnix to enter the post, which fully supports HTML and all that good stuff.
OK, I guess I do have some content...
BlogMailr supports attachments via the MetaWeblog API. As you're probably aware, Community Server doesn't. Well, it didn't: it turns out that Telligent has also back-ported some of the API changes from CS 3.0 to CS 2.1. The update is available here, and is a simple, one-file change. The greatest improvement is support for newMediaObject, which allows BlogMailr (and Windows Live Writer) to attach files to your posts.
And now I press the "send" button and pray that this doesn't implode.
[Update] BlogMailr is a lying liar. I just got an email confirmation claiming that this post doesn't actually exist, so stop reading it before you permanently damage the fabric of reality.
