Blogging Via Email

Alex threw together a script to allow you to post to your blog via a signed email.

After playing around some with the CPanel for my site, I discovered something wonderful. CPanel can forward to pipes (i.e. CPanel can send emails to a program/script). So I am going to take Alex's idea, switch the paradigm to use piped in emails, and add comments to the mix as well.

Stay tuned for more information as it arrives. :)

Minor Update: Seems Alex's code already uses piped-in emails. My glance at the code was a little quicker than it should have been. Either way, I'm still reworking it. :)

Major Update: Okay, I've got it all working. GPG Keys, new entries, and new comments all work through email now. I'll package it up when I get home from class later this evening.
