Information Research Weblog

This message was sent to the IR-DISCUSS discussion list and copied directly to the Weblog:

Exploring the Free-Conversant site, I find that members of the Weblog can submite entries by e-mail instead of logging on to the site and using the message box found there. You can even indicate links by using html tags in the body of a plain text e-mail message. Information on doing this is to be found in the Conversant documentation and this shows how you embed the links. To send a message to the site, you simply address it to: irweblog-site@free-conversant.com

To have the message appear in the Weblog, rather than only in the Message Centre, enter the following as the first line of the message: "addToWeblog index " I am simultaneously trying this out as I send this message, as you will see from the first line of this message. Give it a go and let me know what happens - don't worry about posting test messages to the Weblog - I can remove them.

This now appears to be working, after an abortive attempt last week.
