VIM to ZIM

I’ve managed to get a post by email system up and running. This will allow anyone who will have access to their home email account while they are in Zimbabwe (or now, too, for that matter) to easily post a message to the blog on the main page of this site just by sending an email message.

You will just need to send the email (I’ll let everyone know the address for it) from the email address you entered in when you registered for the site (see http://vimtozim.org/wp-admin/profile.php if you’re not sure what it was). The program matches the return email address of the message with the site’s registered users and their email addresses, and then posts the message only if there’s a match.

We can also upload images by email using this program. For example, this message was posted by email, and I attached to this email message a (relatively large) photo of Christopher with his new camera. It should display a resized version of the image at the top of this post, with a link in the image to the full-sized version. Hope it works. :)
