Migrating to Posterous


This morning I finished migrating my blog to Posterous.

The blog was originally a self hosted WordPress blog. This worked pretty well. However it may seem strange being an IT guy but I was getting tired of applying updates to WordPress and some of the plug-ins I was using. I wanted to move to a more simpler system. Something which meant I would spend the time writing on the blog rather than messing with themes and plug-ins!

Posterous makes it so easy. I like the fact I do not have to mess with a theme. I like how clean it looks and how easy it is. In fact I like pretty much everything about it. The import from WordPress took about 30 seconds - very cool.

But the best way to test technology is to use it. So I have moved the entire blog and domain over to Posterous. This could be a genius move or a total disaster (I hope it is not the latter). If it all goes well I may even think of using it to run the new ServerTastic blog I have planned.
