After Years of Self-Hosting, It's Come to Posterous

I've finally done it.

I've moved my personal blog, the very epitome of my online identity, over to a hosted service.  I've been using Posterous since the Summer '08 and I've been increasingly impressed with its feature set, ability to stay agile and focus on remaining simple while still implementing new features and backend pieces of flair.  

I resisted moving to a hosted solution for my personal domain even after I've moved my data, my email, my calendar, my RSS reading, etc over to hosted solutions (mostly Google).  I view this as a symbolic move of cost and attention cutting in order that I may focus on the important things.

It's good to be here.

Thank you, Posterous. 

Now don't screw up :)

Great Review of @Posterous

Years of building and maintaining my Wordpress blog have resulted in my learning a lot about Wordpress and getting a lot of grease under my fingernails. Weeks of using Posterous has resulted in a media-rich blog with several posts per week. Tell me which service is more powerful.

I started using Posterous primarily as a photo-blog back in September of '08.

However, it's transitioned into my full time personal blog as I've changed up the samharrelson.com domain into a static landing (pointer) page.

Posterous solves so many problems for me.

Thanks to Andy Ihnatko for the great review affirming my love and thanks to the Posterous team for a fantastic product that has renewed my love of posting.
