BlogMailr - email posts to your blog
[Update Nov 9, 9:48 AM PDT] Well, good news! BlogMailr has already been updated to give users the option of suppressing the "Published with BlogMailr" tagline - kudos to them for acting quickly!

Rob Howard comments below that BlogMailr will be making the "Published with BlogMailr" text string that is appended to all posts configurable so that users can turn if off if they so choose, and this update could happen as soon as tonight. When that does happen, I'd be happy to both start using this service myself, and recommend it to others. [/Update]
While many blog platforms offer the ability to post to your blog using an email address, it can be finicky to configure, and sometimes it just refuses to work (like on my personal blog). Worse, there's often no account verification, so if someone determines the email address you use to post to your blog, they could abuse it. I'm not certain if any of these are the reason the folks behind BlogMailr decided a new solution was needed, but for whatever reason, I'm glad they did.
