  I’m working on setting up a new blog in the new wordpress. There used to be a secret address in which users could activate and use to post to the blog. Does this still exist?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  This feature, called Post by email, is still available. You can find more details on setting it up here:

  Let me know if you have any questions!

  Hi Geoffrey –

  I had found that resource and that is the way it worked for our blog years ago. I just set up a new one and the new version of WordPress doesn’t look anything like that, which has me befuddled.

  Did you try doing this from your WP Admin Dashboard? That dashboard may look more like the one you remember. You can access this by adding /wp-admin/ to the end of your website address. For example, it would be something like http://stsmiddleschool.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  That was it!! In the past, it seems like wordpress automatically went to this page for me. I found everything I was looking for, and used to love, in wordpress!
