Earlier we published an article and tutorial on using Posterous to post to your blog by email. Judging by how popular the post was, this is something that people are really interested in doing.

Now WordPress has announced the ability to post to your WordPress.com blog easily through email–either from your desktop, webmail or your mobile/cell phone.

This is a huge improvement on the very limited WordPress ‘Post via email’ option previously available.

Now you can add images, video and MP3 audio to your email and have it added to your post.

Introducing Post by Email for WordPress.com

This doesn’t replace all the functionality of Posterous, but if you only need to update your WordPress.com blog, this is a nice option.

I’m sure more than a few people are chomping at the bit for this to be included in the self-hosted version of WordPress.

Has anyone tested this out yet? What are your thoughts?
