Now that I have got that email-to-WordPress posting business sorted out, the work flow looks like this: the client writes a quick email (on their mobile phone if they prefer) or opens Windows Live Writer (they are MS people) to compose something more considered. They hit send – or publish – and off it goes to the blog.
Very shortly afterwards, thanks to a combination of RSS Menu and Growl, the new post appears before my eyes or at least pops up on my monitor.
I go into WordPress, tidy up post – and any images – and then put my SEO hat on and rewrite meta tags, including the title, the description and list of keywords. This last bit is a reasonably quick process thanks to an array of really good WordPress SEO plugins including SEO Title Tags and Add Meta Tags.
Then I save the post again and make sure directories are pinged.
And then we come up with some ideas for the next post.
That’s about as easy and effective as I can make client blogging.
For now.
