My blog has been on Posterous for some years now and it's been awesome. The best thing about it is that you just email a bunch of stuff, with whatever attachments in whatever format are relevant, and they just work.
Sadly they're shutting down following their talent acquisition by Twitter. That's a real shame. Now I have to find an alternative.
Requirements:
- Hosted. I'm not going to maintain a server just for blogging thanks.
- Allows custom JS. I'm always testing out new analytics tools on my own sites.
- Post through email
Squarespace is lovely but pretty expensive for what I need, unless I can consolidate all three sites into one platform while keeping the domains (waiting on their ticket response).
I had high hopes for Markdown-based blog tools like Jekyll, but I find them a bit clunky. Posterous has got me used to a really easy blogging workflow that works well for me.
Any suggestions? I'm happy to pay.
