Quick blogging via Posterous
Back a couple of months ago I set up a Posterous account as an experiment to see whether I could get anything between micro-blogging (Twitter) and macro-blogging (my main blog, using Windows Live Writer). Posterous was interesting because you compose a blog post as an email sent to a special email address, so it would work from my iPhone as well as from Outlook and Gmail. Worked pretty well, except for one thing: I could not cross-post my Posterous posts to my personal blog. They were arriving, but GraffitiCMS was rejecting them due to no category being present. So I shelved the experiment.
Until today. The reason is that, on Friday, GraffitiCMS was open-sourced. After updating my instance of Graffiti to the latest source from CodePlex, I fixed the issue and this email/post is the first to be cross-posted from my Posterous blog to my main blog (and to Twitter and Facebook).
Expect more mini blog posts in the future...
