Quick start and posting options
Getting started takes only minutes, and if you prefer not to sign up right away you can even send your first entry by email. You can create posts through several convenient methods:
- Mobile app
- Web form
Supported content and engagement
You can include different media types in your posts, and readers can respond with comments much like a traditional blog:
- Videos
- Quotes
- Images
- Text posts
Appearance and customization
Posterous ships with a pared-down default look to keep things focused, but you can change the visual style if you want something different. Options include:
- Building a custom template from scratch
- Choosing from the service’s template gallery
Management and intended users
The site’s admin tools are uncomplicated and approachable, which makes this a solid option for people who want a low-maintenance publishing platform. If you don’t need the advanced features of larger blogging systems, Posterous lets you run a media-friendly blog with minimal fuss.
