Using Evernote yet? Why not? Custom Domains, Dreamhost, and Posterous
I sent this to a buddy of mine so he could set up his domain to point towards his Posterous blog, and I thought maybe someone else might benefit from it as well.
If your domain is registered through Dreamhost, this is how you set an A record towards your Posterous blog. Go to the "Manage Domains" section of http://panel.dreamhost.com Add the A record as shown. I used a subdomain, but you could use your primary domain name, as well. For the subdomain, I entered "blog" in the "Name" field. "Type" dropdown list should show "A". "Value" should be: 184.106.20.102 Click "Add Record Now!" Once Dreamhost is setup, you can modify the settings for your Posterous blog to use that domain (or subdomain.) Go to the settings for the blog you're setting up. With the new Posterous "Spaces" layout, you'd click on "Spaces" in the top menu, then click the gear icon next to the blog you want to change, then "Space Settings". Click the "Edit" button. Mine is already linked, but you'll see where to enter the domain (or subdomain.) Once it's entered, click "Save Settings" and wait for DNS to propagate.

Zemanta and Some Rambling
Image via Wikipedia Image via Wikipedia Trying out this Zemanta thing. Apparently, once you've written your post, you can use Zemanta to find relevant photos, links, tags, etc. and drop them directly in your post. I've been bouncing back and forth between Wordpress and Posterous lately. Even pulled the trigger and switched to Wordpress briefly. I'm not a fan of Posterous Spaces, but I still like the functionality better than Wordpress. I'm torn. As far as Zemanta goes, though, it might be useful. So... It's almost Friday. What's everybody got planned for the weekend? What is your favorite blogging platform? |
