Posterous | Skeptic Geek

Since I’m impressed at the rate at which Posterous is introducing new features, I decided to stick with my Posterous blog and see how the platform matures. However, I wanted my Posterous to be a part of the Skeptic Geek website. It turned out to be quite simple.

1. Create Subdomain

From my BlueHost Control Panel, I created the sub-domain http://posterous.skepticgeek.com

SkepticGeek Subdomains

Do not use any redirection.

2. Add CName Record

The CName Record should look like this:

posterous.skepticgeek.com. IN CNAME posterous.com.

In my case, BlueHost does not allow users to create CName records, so I raised a ticket to get it done.

3. Specify SubDomain in Posterous

In Posterous site settings, add the subdomain name.

Posterous Subdomain

Done!

After months of sitting on my computer on a backless settee, I began to realize that my back has a spinal cord, and that it's made up of individual vertebrae.

But that's not what this is about. While my new chair does indeed improve my posture, this is a new posturing using Posterous.com.

I am writing this email using Gmail, sending it to post@posterous.com and attaching the photo of my new chair. After I hit the send button, I sit back in my chair.

I expect Posterous will:

Post this email and the photo to my Posterous blog http://socialgeek.posterous.com
Post my photo to my Flickr photo stream
Post my photo to my Picasa web albums
Post this update to my Facebook account (I want to see how it does that, whether it just links, or uploads the photo, etc.)
Post this email and photo to my Wordpress.com blog – An Unquiet Mind
Post this update to my Friendfeed, which will then tweet an update on Twitter as @SocialGeek
Post this update as a tweet on Twitter as @Palsule

Just 1 Email. Now, let's see how it works!
