Faster blogging

June 14th, 2010 — 11:25pm

So, as most technologists know, there is a new fancy new blogging system out there - Posterous. I’ve been looking into it, trying to find out if its right for me, and for most cases, it is! But the key word in that sentence is most, and generally most doesn’t cut it. There is a certain level of customizability that is missing from Posterous (yes, I’ve noticed there are finally about pages! But alas…). Considering my focus is software and web development, I think I can spend a bit more time customizing my site, but since my focus is also giving myself the most efficient way to do things, Posterous seems to fit that bill. So which will I go with? What I’ve done instead of using Posterous as my primary blog, is I’ve linked my Posterous and Wordpress blogs! Now I have the easy use of posterous, and the customizability of Wordpress all wrapped up into one package! If you’re interested in doing this, check out this ridiculously easy tutorial on how to do what I’ve done:

Hopefully this new ease of use will get me blogging a bit more. Cheers!

Seems like just yesterday when we found out Vancouver won the bid for the 2010 winter olympics… Or when they released that hidious logo. Anyways, I found a pretty wicked list of free events, thought I’d share it.
