Autopost Setup in Posterous

[mpossoff]

Ok, I think I've worked out how to add the anchor text to Posterous now. There is no need to put the html code in, just click on 'Reader', then 'Manage spaces'. From the drop down menu select 'Pages & Links' there are two boxes, one for the link address ie: www.whatever.com and the other for the actual anchor text.

I assume the other guys worked this out already, especially as the last post before mine was pretty old, but figured I'd post this to save other people a bit of time trying to figure it out.

If I've got this wrong in any way, let me know.

Cheers, Richard

Thanks since xanga and others aren't posterous compatible are there any other platforms that are compatible with posterous?

Funny you should post this Marc.

I have alot of 2.0 sites now and none of them work with posterous.

I found one that did last night, blog.com.

I started autoposting with posterous and they banned my blog.

there are some paid services out there but I cant find anything that does it for free.

blog.com banned you?

So you're posting to web 2.0's manually?

Yes for the most part it is all manual.

I have the few things that work through posterous.

I have rss graffiti that posts my posterous stuff to my facebook page.

Just last week I added a tumblr and posterous rss feed to a one 2.0 blog and psoterous rss to another 2.0 blog.

I', not so sure google will find the links though.

Yes, posterous worked with blogger.com. But the minute I started using it they banned my blog.

Paulus:

Having the same problem, but, the next best thing is to post by email. you can by addressing your email:

username+pin@post.livejournal.com

(you must include the + symbol)

you can see my post by email to Live Journal at www.pipelighters.net

I'm finding that several of the blogging accounts do not allow autoposting from posterous. So, I'm trying to do the next best thing. I'm emailing to posterous for those that do, and forwarding the email to the others that don't (but allow post by email). Of course, you have to remove the email forwarding info you don't want included in your post.

Hope this help

Okay...

I'm just getting into this. I was excited about using Posterous...but now I'm thinking it's somewhat useless. The only thing I got it to connect to was Twitter and Blogger.Com. I'm not sure it's much of an advantage to use considering the following:

1. I'm not sure I want to use Posterous with Twitter. I use Twitter a bit differently (hashtags, etc.) and don't want to confuse things...
2. Posterous won't connect to my Facebook Page
3. Posterous isn't compatible with Xanga
4. Posterous isn't compatible with Identi.ca
5. Posterous won't connect to Tumblr

Does anyone have any thoughts?
