Description

This hack uses multiple Blogger blogs to create categories.

For each category blog you post in, Blogger will send out an email and your email system will identify and forward it to main blog's unique Mail-to-Blogger email address, resulting in the post being published on the main blog with categories appearing in the title and author fields.

Method

(See homepage for complete instructions.)

• Create multiple blogs (each for each category needed) and one main blog.
• Establish Mail-to-Blogger email address for the main blog.
• Establish email forwarding (i.e. Gmail) to the main blog for posting.
