<h1>Post via Email</h1>
<p>You can post from an email client! To set this up go to your "Writing" options screen and fill in the connection details for your secret <abbrtitle="Post Office Protocol version 3">POP3</abbr> account. Then you need to set up <code>wp-mail.php</code> to execute periodically to check the mailbox for new posts. You can do it with <ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron">cron</a>-jobs, or if your host doesn't support it you can look into the various website-monitoring services, and make them check your <code>wp-mail.php</code><abbrtitle="Uniform Resource Locator">URL</abbr>.</p>
<p>Posting is easy: Any email sent to the address you specify will be posted, with the subject as the title. It is best to keep the address discrete. The script will <em>delete</em> emails that are successfully posted.</p>
<h1>User Roles</h1>
<p>We introduced a very flexible roles system in version 2.0. You can <ahref="http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities"title="WordPress roles and capabilities">read more about Roles and Capabilities on the Codex</a>.</p>
