Posterous User Guide

Introduction

Posterous is a free, simple-to-use online blogging application that allows you to post content to your own blog by email. As Posterous founders explain, “Posting is dead simple.”

Whether you’re a first time blogger or have been blogging for years, Posterous makes it easy for you to create your blog within seconds. All you need is an email address to quickly share text, videos, images, photo galleries, whatever type of content you have, on your blog.

No need to know how to write code, create an image gallery or add a video player to your blog. Posterous automatically formats your content correctly, creates a snappy interactive image gallery, and adds Flash players for your video and audio content.

Want to share your Posterous posts on your other social media networks? Done! One message sent to Posterous can update your accounts, including the following:

blog

Flickr

Facebook

Twitter

Xanga

other social network accounts

Depending on which social networks you’ve added to your Posterous account, you choose which network will be updated when you send your email message.

There are lots of features that extend Posterous’s functionality, but I’ll cover the basic ones in this user guide. You’ll learn how to send your first post, create an account, add photos, video, audio, and more.

I’ve used several blogging applications, including WordPress, Blogger, and Blogsite. There’s nothing simpler than Posterous.

If you’ve been waiting for a quick, intuitive way to start blogging, Posterous is for you! I hope you’ll discover how easy it is to use Posterous, as I have.

Creating a BlogPosterous makes it easy to create a blog; you simply send an email message to [email protected] with content for your first blog post.

Step 1: Sending an email message1. Log in to your email program.

2. Start a new email message.

3. Enter [email protected] in the To field.

4. Enter the title of your first blog post in the Subject field.

5. Enter text for your first post in the body of the message (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Create Email Message

6. If you have an automatic signature at the end of your email messages, delete it, or the signature will be included with your post. If you don’t want to remove the signature manually, add the word #end at the end of your post; Posterous will ignore any text found after it.

7. Click Send in the email program.

Page 4


Step 2: Viewing your post Once your email message is received, Posterous publishes your post and sends a confirmation message (Figure 2).

Congrats on publishing your first blog post!

Figure 2: Confirmation Email Message

Page 5


To view your post, click Your new post in the confirmation message.

Figure 3: Your First Blog Post

Page 6


Creating an AccountCreating an account in Posterous is optional. You don’t need to set up an account to post to your blog via email. However, there are benefits to setting up an account, including the following:

having a custom URL (Adding a site name and password on page 7)

setting a custom site name (Adding a site name and password on page 7)

creating a profile and profile photo (Completing your profile on page 9)

setting a password to securely manage and update your blog on page (Adding a site name and password on page 7)

posting via web interface (not discussed in this user guide)

tagging your posts (Tagging Content on page 25)

linking your Posterous account to other accounts, including Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, Picasa, Tumblr, WordPress, Blogger and more (Autoposting on page 22)

subscribing to other Posterous blogs (Following Other Posterous Bloggers on page 46)

Step 1: Adding a site name and passwordPosterous creates your site name based on the email address using the format http://youremailaddress.posterous.com. But you can modify the site name to whatever you would like, as long as no one else has claimed the name!

Open your email program, and in the confirmation message sent from Posterous, do the following:

1. Click get your own in the Setting a Password section.

The Set a password page displays in the browser.

2. If you want to change the name of your blog, enter your custom site address (URL) in the Choose a name for your Posterous site field.

If the name you’ve chosen is available, a confirmation message displays below the field.

If the name you’ve chosen is not available, an alert message displays recommending you select another name.

3. Enter your password in the Enter password field. Be sure the password has at least five characters (Figure 4).

You’ve heard it plenty of times, but select a password that is hard for others to guess. For your security, include numbers, special characters and upper and lower case letters in your password. Make it complicated enough that others can’t guess your password, but not so complicated that you can’t remember it.

Page 7


Figure 4: Set a Password Page with Name and Password

4. Click Sign up.

The Complete your profile screen displays where you can add information about yourself.

That’s it! You’ve created a custom site name and password for your blog.

Page 8


Step 2: Completing your profileAdding information in your profile allows you to share details about yourself with your blog visitors. Do you have an interesting hobby? Or do you want to talk about your work? Add as few or as many details as you like in the Complete your profile screen (Figure 5) using the following steps:

1. Enter your first and last name in the First name and Last name fields.

Figure 5: Complete your profile Screen

2. Enter a nickname in the Nickname field (optional).

3. In the Your Photo section, click the Choose button to browse for a photo to upload for your profile (optional). There is no need to resize the photo; Posterous will size the photo for you.

4. Enter information about yourself in the Your Bio field (optional).

Page 9


Your Bio information appears in your profile and on every page of your blog. Add information about your work, interests, and activities that you’re comfortable sharing with others online.

5. Click Next in the bottom right of the page.

6. For now, click Skip in the bottom right to skip the Find Friends and Invite Friends screen. The Manage Your Account screen displays.

Step 3: Customizing the site name Posterous uses the name from your email address as the name of your site. For example, if your email address is [email protected], the name of your Posterous blog would be Lee’s Posterous.

Change the name of your site to something more meaningful with the following steps:

1. In the left sidebar, in the Your blogs section, click the first item, which is the current name of your site.

2. Click the Settings tab.

3. Enter your preferred name in the Site Name field (Figure 6).

4. The Site address field is pre-populated with the URL of your blog (optional). It may already be customized with the name chosen in Step 1: Adding a site name and password on page 7.

5. Add text in the Site subhead field (optional) to customize your blog with another heading or details.

Figure 6: Settings Screen

Step 4: Customizing the look of your sitePosterous has built-in themes that change the font, color, and background of your site. Or, if you’re adventurous and have knowledge of cascading style sheets, you can create your own theme for your site.

We’ll take the easy way out, and select one of the built-in Posterous themes using the following steps:

1. Click on the Theme and Customize My Site button in the Look and Feel section .

The Customizing screen displays (Figure 7).

You’re done! View your site name and theme change by clicking My Posterous in the top right of the page.
