Today I moved my personal blog to Posterous from WordPress. Why, you ask, would a WordPress lover like myself do that… Here’s why.
1. I don’t want to manage YAWS (yet another wordpress site)
2. Posterous makes it too easy not to post
3. Posterous cross-posts to my other networks making it similar to Ping.fm
4. I can have a custom domain and run Google Analytics
5. I don’t want to have to think about it – and Posterous solves that problem marvelously
Why not Tumblr? I went back and forth on this for a few days and just decided to go with Posterous for the simplicity + cross posting feature.
What can you expect there? Random pictures, funny stuff, personal ramblings, etc…

Great to hear you are moving over to posterous. I love their service and if they had themes I would probably do the same.
Until then I'm still rocking out tumblr and I have set to feed twitter and use google analytics in the info section so at least I don't have to reset it each time I switch up themes.
Additional reasons to use posterous: easily add multiple users or email accounts for posting and beautifully handles uploading photo sets.
Rob – a little birdie told me to expect themes very soon.. *wink*
Have been using Poserous for a few weeks now. I'm very pleased with it, any questions I had got answered within a day or two. A few extra blogs on the same account, no problem :)
Jacob – Yes I am loving it as well and any feedback I have sent is
well received and I've gotten a response within hours on every one. This is
very promising that they are that tuned in to the community.
A question about using extra blogs on the same account… Let's say I send
something to post@posterous.com – which blog does it go to if you are
running more than one posterous?
Hi Abrudtkuhl, the first Posterous blog you start with is your main one, all the mail you send to post@posterous.com ends up in that one.
Let's say you call your second Posterous blog abc, then if you want to post to that blog you mail to post@abc.posterous.com.
Another way is using the Posterous bookmarklet, now you can choose on which blog it will be posted. Have fun :)
btw you can always change your main blog..
Awesome thanks!
Thats very good to know… thanks
