Description

This hack permits categories with multiple Blogger blogs.

Method

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

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