How to Use Evernote for Blogging

While WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr, and Medium are popular blogging platforms, did you know you can also blog with Evernote? Known primarily as a top note-taking app, Evernote offers an open API that enables developers to create applications leveraging its data and features.

This functionality is exploited by Postach.io, which uses the API to create a unique blogging platform. Let’s explore how it works.

Connecting Evernote to Postach

Start by linking your Evernote account to Postach. Click the Sign in button to be redirected to Evernote’s sign-in form. After signing in, you’ll be directed to the Application Authorization page to review and authorize Postach’s access to your Evernote account. Click the Authorize button to continue.

Setting Up Your Blog

To create your blog, fill in the required details: your full name, email, desired website name, and URL. Initially, your blog will have a subdomain under postach.io. Later, you can customize it to use your own domain.

Click the Create Site button to finalize the creation. You can then access your new site immediately using the subdomain you have chosen, such as hongkiat.postach.io.

Publishing Content

Postach automatically creates a new Notebook named after your blog. This is where you’ll write and manage your posts. If you prefer a different Notebook, simply change it in the website settings under the Notebook section.

Writing and publishing content is straightforward: create a Note, tag it with published, save it, and then sync it. Your new content will appear on your blog in seconds.

Final Thoughts

If you’re an avid Evernote user, consider Postach as a streamlined blogging alternative. It eliminates the hassle of complicated setups and is perfect for publishing directly from Evernote to your blog, almost instantaneously.
