How can I upload a file that is larger than 5MB (like video or a podcast file) to my posterous account? Gmail nor AOL mail will let me. I need help! Thanks.
go to the section how to share of the help menu and then drag the button share on posterous on your preferred tool-bar but if it is a video before however you must load it on you-tube or vimeo. about any other kind of file you have to use picasa or other google stuff, but in any case is it impossible to post a file so large via mail

Just select an image you want to excerpt. Then it seems to be handled as an image entry so the entry is autoposted to FF as a photo share. Hope I understand what's you're asking.

When I do that, though, it doesn't pick up the image. Unless you're saying that I should do that with the Posterous bookmarklet. let me try that. I was meaning when I pick from pages of excerpts that include both the image and some surrounding text.
- Kamilah Gill
ok. The problem was that I was trying to use Google Reader to send something to Posterous. Is there a way to get images to work there? When I share from Google Reader, it automatically opens Posterous, but then the images only show up in Posterous and won't export to FF

Import as blog, in lieu of service and images posted natively via Posterous get pulled in here. via Ben Goulab: "Mona: you can turn off the Posterous auto FriendFeed publishing and just use your Posterous feed as a "blog" service http://mona.posterous.com/rss.... Posterous supports SUP so new entries come into FriendFeed very quickly (under 60 seconds). You'll still get pretty pictures too. That's how I do it: http://friendfeed.com/search... - Benjamin Golub"
- Mona Nomura
I'm a little scared of doing that, but alright, I'll do a test run before tonight's sketch post. Thanks, Mona. How do I keep the first comment coming in? ah wait, I think I've got it... The images are coming through much too small when I pull into FF instead of pushing from Posterous. I need for them to be as large as possible...
- Kamilah Gill
How do I avoid getting duplicate entries in Friendfeed when I publish a post in Posterous that is automatically sent to Twitter? I know there is a way, I read it in Steve Rubel's blog, but I can't remember it right now...
I'm trying to use posterous to distribute content across the interwebs but have one problem. I do not want the links pointing to the posterous page, but instead back to my wordpress blog. Any ideas?
Is there an easy way to upload a video (347 MB) to my posterous page. Can't email it and I am trying pixelpipe but it doesn't seem to be working. Ideas?? Help ...
Not official yet I think, but the screenshot is real and provides some info. The "Porting Tumblr" tab explains that you can use Tumblr themes as is, but all Tumblr blocks in the code won´t be supported at first.
- Thomas Bøhm
Can we use widgets and javascript code?
- Svartling
I think it will spawn quite a large number of available themes and probably cannibalize Tumblr quite a bit. @Garry: Sorry, but it wasn't a very well kept secret;) Google blogsearch showed it to me on a search I had surrounding Posterous.

@Svartling: No, not at first it says. But knowing Posterous it'll probably come along.

I like posterous very much. Just hope it will survive from the Internet censorship here in china. Oh, the Chinese Great Firewall is sucks. There are so many victims, Twitter, friendfeed, facebook, YouTube, blogger, picasa web... Too many to count. Sigh...

So, when does this theming feature become available? ;-)
- Rubin Sfadj
It's been leaking for a while now ... any update on projected availability? There have been a number of new features added since this was posted here.
- Allan Besselink
The Posterous team did an awesome job introducing custom themes. I took a generic one and just modified the margins and colors a bit. Surprisingly the style sheet is over a thousand lines, and I thought it might be a good idea for those interested to discuss and edit the various elements *live* online.

http://jezlyn.posterous.com I really like using it to feed content to my Wordpress blog and other sites at the same time. It's the only easy way I know of to e-mail posts "to" my Wordpress.com blog.

Kol - it's great how one FF post can start a little movement. I've used it more today than since I signed up whenever a long time ago. Thanks.
- phil baumann
@phil couldn't you do the embed feature... ? post something to posterous.. and then 'edit' the post and paste the embed? Or maybe simply email it?
- Sean
Phil, click on the 'Share' link of the FF entry, then copy the embed code. Create a new Posterous entry, select HTML mode and paste in the embed code. You'll need to edit the width and height (looks like 500 for width). Then post. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Don't forget to tag your posts like this ((tag: posterous, friendfeed)) in the subject line of your emails. That way your posts will be seen easier by all other Posterous users when they use the global posterous search.
- Svartling
Kol, yes I see.. I added it, I guess Twitter does not have anything but javascript and flash widgets.. It doesnt matter, since I autopost to twitter there is a button there..

How do you all add the little twitter and friendfeed images with links to your profiles here on posterous. I don't know the code to do that. :( Help when u can.
- Amani
http://mylescrew.posterous.com/ Right now I'm just testing, the import from Blogger was REALLY easy. I'm trying to "port" BlurbBits (http://ff.im/4tlY2) to make them work better on posterous. The iframe style parameter gets removed, which is different than Blogger (there is *always* something).
- Chris Myles
Amani, the little images for twitter etc you get if you autopost to those sites but you might end up with duplicate posts that way. There is a friendfeed badge you can put in your posterous profile at http://friendfeed.com/embed... use the image format, not javascript.

Check out Wayne Suttons Posterous (he posted his URL in this thread). You see that he has changed some colors. That is a private beta feature that is coming soon to the public.
- Svartling
http://lizasperling.posterous.com/ Thanks - you are making this a very helpful Sunday:) AND for those of you trying to embed other images, etc...I did it in my profie and mash in friendfeed, zemanta, gmail, wisestamp,etc..FUN - happy to help.
- Liza
YOU are a great example of engaging followers and using tools to help us connect in many other ways. THANK YOU.

the usual: bigstarlet.posterous.com. I use it as alternative picture posting device to Pixelpipe and also as an alternative to Ping.fm. Thanks for subbing to me there, Kol. :)

@koltregaskes, my posterous is at http://alexschleber.posterous.com "Quick Hits Business Mindhacks". Had been using it quite a bit the first 6 months of this year. I'm a big fan of Garry & Sachin, but really wish posterous would hurry up with some of the much needed feature upgrades (skins and/or CSS, Retweet button - just use Tweetmeme, custom sidebar HTML, WYSIWIG bookmarklet, etc.) Seems like they're stalling a bit right now, no?
- Alex Schleber
They have to be careful not to mess with the simplicity of it, though; that's why so many people like it. If they tart it all up, it might as well just be Tumblr. Which already exists.

@koltregaskes weird that you're "what's your GReader/Posterous/FB?" entries from the last few days seem to presage in a way what happened today..
- Alex Schleber
Keep 'em coming, I'll add you all later today. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Thank God for this thread. I'm going to (slowly) subscribe to all the people I'm subbed to on FF. I have a hunch posterous is going to replace part of the puzzle for me. Thanks Kol.

I tried a post asking everyone to share their Google Reader shared items link, but I guess I don't have many followers. Maybe you can?

My url is http://dave6.posterous.com I just tried out the "((nogallery))" feature that lets you post pictures not in gallery format by putting ((nogallery)) in email subject http://dave6.posterous.com/where-d... only problem is that it takes a while to load pictures if not using really high-speed internet.

Question from a Posterous newbie: Say I have two Posterous sites -- let's call them http://p1.posterous.com (my primary site) and http://p2.posterous.com. How do I post something to http://p2.posterous.com and autopost to Twitter? In other words, what is the email address to do that? Thanks.
"There’s something interesting happening in the space between Twitter and a full blown blog. We’re seeing more and more of our social friends turn to sites like Posterous for 140 character plus musings, or simple and fast photo and video sharing. Whether you need a little more space to create a lifestream that serves as a compliment to your Twitter presence, or you’re looking to totally replace your existing personal or group blog, Posterous makes the transition and posting process dead simple. The Posterous possibilities are endless, and the best part is it that takes very little effort to maintain your site and attract a subscriber base."

Posterous and Hellotxt are not the same type of service. Can you explain what you mean?
- Kol Tregaskes
You cannot write full blow, fully formatted blog entries in Hellotxt. Like I say, Hellotxt and Posterous are not the same type of service. Hellotxt is a place where you can post to multiple micro-blogs from one place.
- Kol Tregaskes
Posterous is great! I like it a lot, but as long as friendfeed persists, I probably won't use it all that much.
- Jim Hearts FF
Posterous tip: Post multiple images inline, without a gallery, by putting ((nogallery)) in the subject line of your email - http://blog.posterous.com/postero...
