The simple way to enable Wordpress post by email on a self hosted website (yahoo,gmail,exchange,pop,imap)

ISSUE: I want to be able to email my posts into an email address and have them post automatically to my Wordpress site.

There are a tons of sites that talk about this subject and many different ways on how to do it, there are actually some plugins that can set this up for you, but I wanted to simplify this process since many of the users that use wordpress don't know how or want to edit the code.

SOLUTION:  First we need to understand how this actually works.

When you send a post by email what happens is that it goes into the inbox of that address wordpress will then run a job to pull those emails into the wordpress site.

When I first set this up my biggest misconception was that I was actually emailing the wordpress site directly and that is completely incorrect.

What actually happens is that Wordpress connects to the mailbox and pulls the messages into your website as a POST

STEPS:

How to remove the comments TEXT BOX from your WORDPRESS pages

ISSUE: When creating new pages in wordpress they show the following comments box. If you are like me you will not see any reason why someone would allow comments on a static wordpress page, here is what shows up at the bottom of all your wordpress pages:

SOLUTION:

1. Login to your wordpress site

2. go under PAGES > ALL PAGES 

3. hover over or select all the pages you want to make the change to

4. click "Quick Edit" 

5. unheck the box for "Allow comments" 

Strange that this option is nowhere else in WordPress but here: 

I hope this helps anyone that is having a problem locating that option. I had to search all over the place to find it.
