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.

If those reasons aren’t good enough for you, though, here’s another one: a new Trojan for Mac is going around that poses as FlashPlayer, and if you’re not careful, installing Flash on a new Mac is all that it could take to infect your system. F-Secure calls the Trojan Bash/QHost.WB. Here’s how it works:
Here’s what it looks like in action: Worse, the Trojan actually is programmed to serve pop-up ads, and while no ads are displaying now, the system’s in place, just waiting to go live. Obviously, if you’re going to install Flash, the only safe way to do so is through Adobe’s official site. Why not try to live without it though? Your computer will thank you. Similar Posts:
