@patrick You genius! Nice one. I’m glad you’ve disabled the URL checking thing, I don’t really think it makes sense to get you to verify you own the site you’re POSTing to, just that you own the email address you’re using.

Yes please, I’d love a m.ac.nz email address!

@simon That’s cool, I hadn’t thought about using email-to-blog systems. It’s still hard to figure out how you’d get the information from there into Yahoo! Pipes in an automated way, although it does get it back on to the web, which is a start…

Not sure if it is what you want, but you can post to a blogspot.com blog by sending an email to an email address configured in your blogger.com setup.

To see if it does what you want send an email to s2wtest (at s2w.m.ac.nz), and then look in http://static.patrick.geek.nz/s2wtests/tests/ to see what it generates. (The Request array is the query string, the post body is the, er, post body.)

I’ve just deployed this myself at http://www.s2w.m.ac.nz/ – I’ve disabled the URL check, but to prevent abuse it’s setup to use my m.ac.nz “Google Apps” domain accounts – I can give you one if you want.

I intend to build up the UI a bit to match http://dns.m.ac.nz/ and to add some features that are useful to me.

Dood! You have the power. Scratch this itch yourself. If you’ve got a few gaps in what you know, just fill them in with some learning. This seems like a perfect opportunity for you.
