I'm trying to setup Posterous as a central place that will handle posting of stuff to my various sites. This is kind of a test.
The idea is to have one place to manage it all and have a central place to post to and have that feed into whichever service I wish. This is all done via email too which simplifies things, and google mail and posterous seem to handle preserving the layout well too.
It's easy with a single blog and single account on different services, but I have multiple blogs and on some services, more than one account – eg: flickr I have multiple accts.
I'm setting both my blogs up and using the feature that routes different posts to different services based on url and a # tag passed in the email address (see below).
So, this is being emailed to #blob@posterous.com which should post a copy to my personal blog at http://dnwallace.com/blog
You control where we post.
Just email the right address and we'll do the right thing.
Post Everywhere? post@posterous.com as usual Twitter? twitter@posterous.com Flickr? flickr@posterous.com Facebook? facebook@posterous.com Tumblr? tumblr@posterous.com Any other blog? blog@posterous.com Posterous only? posterous@posterous.com Combine them! flickr+twitter@posterous.com You can also address an email to #{text}@posterous.com and it will post to any site where the url contains that text.
#apple@posterous.com will go to apple.wordpress.com and flickr.com/apple, but NOT banana.blogspot.com.
