Posting content is the toughest part of keeping up a blog. Having content up on your blog on a regular basis is one of the ways to keep your readers coming back for more.
Enter Posterous.
Posterous makes it really simple to post content and share with your readers. Simply set up your Posterous and email your posts from your computer or cell phone to your Posterous account with attached pictures, videos, files, and mp3’s. If you send an email link from YouTube it will show up on your Posterous as a video. iTunes Podcats are posted instantly as well.
It’s that simple you don’t have to log in to post content. The information that you type on your subject line of your email turns into the title of your post and any attachments or the body of your email turns into the body of your blog post.
You can also set up your Posterous autopost to multiple social networks including:
Facebook
Twitter
Flickr
Tumblr
Blogger
Wordpress
Typepad
Movable Type
Livejournal
Xanga
Add other authors to create a community or multi-user blog. One of my favorite features is the bookmarklet. The Posterous bookmarklet is a button that you drag to your browser’s toolbar. When your browsing the web and you run into a video or picture click on the bookmarklet and you can automatically post this to your Posterous.
Setting up analytics for your Posterous and a custom domain is a piece of cake. By the way, like many other blogging services this one is free too.
