Get on the Blog the Easy Way

Yo Sailors,

It's full on winter, complete with ice storms and freezing rain.  What better time to learn a new skill?

You've seen the blog posts by others and thought, "I'd like to do that, but it's too much trouble, what with all that weird blogger stuff, etc.", "Takes too long.", "I'll do it later"....

Well now, you can post to the blog directly via email.  You can even do it via smart phone email.  That's how I did these (complete with photos):
