This is my first post via email. Which originally said “Hello, this is my first email post..“. [Published on: Sep 28, 2014 @ 23:02]

Here is what I learned over time:

I am using JetPack’s Post via Email, which needs an actual WordPress account to connect to WordPress and to create a xxxxxxx@post.wordpress.com email. Once you generate this secret email, you can post by emailing to that address.
Here is the info: http://jetpack.me/support/post-by-email/

Next I wanted to add a custom email that I can use, so I used a forwarding service on top. Forwarding service works fine for text updates and small images (~100KB), but fails with bigger images. The secret WordPress email still works with bigger images (3-4MB)

Want to give postie a shot sometime as well:

Will update as I go
