How?

Link Evernote account to Postach.io

Create your blog site

Blog directly to your site from Evernote

Detailed instructions are in the workshop notebook tiny.cc/AQPC

Once setup, blogging via Evernote saves a lot of time – no need to log on to a separate site to blog!

After initial setup - no need to use the postach.io site anymore…

Unless you want to change themes, enable comments, delete your site, etc.

Do not expect all the bells and whistles from Blogger, Wordpress, etc…

Postach.io (Canadian!) won the Evernote Devcup in 2013 –improvements/updates are definitely to come.

In your entire Evernote account

In a specific notebook

In titles

Etc…
