Publishing by E-mail allows you to create and publish a blog article by sending a simple E-mail in a certain format. Your email client does not matter, you can send an e-mail from your phone, your Iridium device, from a browser etc....
You send your formatted article to your personal publishing E-mail address and the system reads it and if all the information is correct, publishes a new article on your blog.
