PosterPress

Posterous was a great platform for publishing (and auto-cross-posting). The main inconvenient is that it's not free software and there is no way to host it yourself (though you can use a custom domain). So the goal here is to see how Wordpress could be tweaked to work as (much as) Posterous.

Since Posterous has passed away, this page in turn keeps track of the auto-cross-posting plugin that I use on my own Wordpress instance.

PosterPress features

Following the closure of Posterous and the changes in my personal media landscape, here are a list of features I want in WordPress

  • Auto-post to Mastodon
  • Auto-post to Diaspora
  • Plays well with large social networks such as Facebook and Twitter
  • Allows visitor to subscribe to email updates
  • Supports Webmention

Wordpress features and plugins

So Wordpress support tags already and has a bookmarklet for a quick posting from any webpage: http://codex.wordpress.org/Press_This

So for the other features, here's a list of wordpress plugins that might help or do the job.

Markdown

Google analytics

Post by mail

Autopost

Shorturls

Importer

And once you've configured it all, all you need to do is import what you had in your posterous and save it in your wordpress.

Extras

Just some stuff not directly related to a posterous conversion.
