Another way of posting content to PPO's civicspace discussion area is via e-mail.

If you send an e-mail to blogging@portlandpeakoil.org, the body of the e-mail will be auto-loaded into your blog in civicspace.  FYI, this is currently functional.

Again, assuming the e-mail is sent from the same account as you have listed in your PPO: civicspace profile we can also setup something like the following.

forums-news@portlandpeakoil.org would be loaded into the forum topic of "Articles, links and media recommenations"

forums-gardening@portlandpeakoil.org would be loaded into "Food, gardening and permaculture"

forums-politics@portlandpeakoil.org would be loaded into "Politics and the media"

forums-techhelp@portlandpeakoil.org would be loaded into "Site technical help"

Of course we could setup this up for every forum.

As for being notified of content posted, check out Emily's post on the subject.
