I haven’t tried Posterous.com in over a year. But some friends have
been using it lately and Leo Laporte has been planning to use it for
his trip to China this month. So I thought I’d give it another try.
This will be my second test tonight. And my last tonight. Quite
possibly, you will get a double post of this when the streams that are
Posterous and my Ping.fm setup cross. If we are lucky, only a large
marshmallow will be destroyed.
Thanks for bearing with me. Good night!
Last test, I promise. I’ve set up the ability to post to my blog by
email using the instructions found here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_by_Email
Plus I set up a CRON job to check a few times an hour and publish what
was found.
I was easy to setup and configure. The one thing I stumbled on was
making sure the Wordpress user who’s email address I would be sending
from had an appropriate role to publish without being moderated.
The one thing I wish was different is that each line of text in an
email message is wrapped at 80 characters. For my current theme that
is no big deal but I can see it being a design problem with a
different width of the content area. Oh well, not my problem right
now.
