New Posterous Blog

Testing, testing…

I am testing out both Tumblr and Posterous, as I have a new idea for a blog, and I want to see if either of these are the right tool for the job.  There’s much to love about both of them, and yet they both have some limitations.

Right now, I’m blogging from Posterous, and it should auto-post to most of my other online social networks, as well as to my WordPress, Blogger and Tumblr blogs.  (So, if you see this more than once, don’t hate me; I’m trying to work out the paths and any possible redundancies…).

Wish me luck!
