    Can someone please give me step-by-step instructions to get this working?

    I am using godaddy for my hosting and want to use a gmail address to post through.

    I have tried the included mail post option, but it doesn't support SSL.

    I tried postie, but can't figure out the cron job part.

    I am not a programmer, or have a deep knowledge of web development. I just need a simple, step-by-step way to set this up.

    Help please!

    Step by Step instructions can be found at the Blog_by_Email page in the codex.

    Hopefully that'll help.

    Thanks for the help, but it says "Use the WP-Cron WP-Mail plugin.", but when I click on the link, it says "wp-cron (obsolete in WordPress 2.1+)". So....now what? Does ANYONE make a plug-in that will work for this? I know I'm not the only one who wants to do this. And I'm sure others have figured it out.
