 [[http://posterous.com|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 [[http://wordpress.org|Wordpress]] could be tweaked to work as (much as) Posterous. [[http://posterous.com|Posterous]] was a great platform for publishing (and auto-cross-posting).

-==== Wordpress features and plugins ====+=== Mastodon === 
 +  * https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/ exposes a WordPress blog to the Fediverse and Mastodon network using the ActivityPub protocol. No need to auto-post. Simple.
  
-So Wordpress support tags already and has a bookmarklet for a quick posting from any webpage: http://codex.wordpress.org/Press_This +=== Diaspora* === 
 +  * https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-to-diaspora/ Auto-post your WordPress publications directly to your Diaspora account. You can choose to send a summary or to copy the full post.
  
-So for the other features, here's a list of wordpress plugins that might help or do the job.+=== Subscribe by email === 
 +  * https://wordpress.org/plugins/subscribe2/ Simple plugin that lets visitors subscribe by mail. Has a good number of features while being quite resistant to spam. Sends an email for every post you write.
  
 +=== Webmentions ===
 +  * https://wordpress.org/plugins/webmention/ Does just that. Makes WordPress support Webmentions.
 +
 +=== OpenGraph ===
 +  * https://wordpress.org/plugins/wonderm00ns-simple-facebook-open-graph-tags/ injects the right meta tags in your posts so that your publications behave correctly with social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Probably others too as these tend to become "standards"

 === Markdown === === Markdown ===
   * http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/ Requires to deactivate the wordpress default editor. It might not be so usefull anymore since Postie has also some special "function tags"    * http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/ Requires to deactivate the wordpress default editor.
