Getting by the Blocking System

I know I told the Period 2 class, but if there's anyone for the Period 5 class that reads this it might be usefull to know.

I know we've had problems with the blocking system not letting us sign into our blogger acounts. I've figured out a way to bypass that and allow you to be able to make a post without even logging in.

when you successfuly log into blogger, go to the settings tab. There will be an option labeled "email." If you click that, you will be asked to enter something similar to a passphrase. This is included an an email address you can send an email to. Whatever is in the body of the email will be posted in your blog.

For example: assume I used the email 'shoop_da_whoop@hotmail.com' and I used the passphrase 'password'...In order to use Blogger's email-post system, I would write an email as if I was writing a post on Blogger and send it to 'shoop_da_whoop.password@blogger.com'.

On a final note, I recomend that you don't use AIM Mail for this. Otherwise you'll be asking people if they need a lower credit score at the end of your post or something...some email systems like to put ads at the end of their emails when you send them, so be aware of that.

You know, now that I've taken a slightly closer look at my blog, I've discovered how horribly obnoxious asking for comments over and over again are. I should probably change that. Preferably into something whitty and creative. Perhaps a knock-knock joke?

Ironically, after Mr. Kimball assigned this from home, the school unblocked everything again. Weird.

ROFL

I love the school's blocking system and how it sucks. Isn't it great?
