Integration of Posterous with web presence
I am beginning to blog and don't want to administrate my blogging software/server myself (greetings to the currently running attack on non-updated WordPress blogs). Because of its ease of use for short blog posts and its (constantly growing) integration with many other web services (like Twitter) I decided to test Posterous.
My plan: integrate Posterous as transparently as possible into my tiny web presence. Posterous allows to run your blog at your own domain instead of just under <yoursitename>.posterous.com - they call it custom domains.
And here I hit a stumbling block: I am also using my website and blog as an outlet for my freelancing and consulting in the area of computer and video game parallelization and my countries law requires to show an imprint with contact infos. Where to show this imprint? And where to put my short about info?
If I point the main A record of my registrar to Posterous I can't think of a direct way to access the imprint and about pages I am currently hosting at my registrar and web hoster anymore.
Currently I am using a sub-domain blog.bjoernknafla.com and let its A record point to Posterous and store my about and imprint pages under the www. "sub"-domain.
But I would like the blog to be the focal point of my web presence. A blog is the most dynamic part of most websites and the part that will therefore bait google the most.
- I could point the main A record to my Posterous site (
bjoernknafla.posterous.com) and add two new Posterous sites which only show the about and imprint info, e.g.:bjoernknafla_about.posterous.comandbjoernknafla_imprint .posterous.com.However I would like it better if I could directly add (static) sub-pages to my main Posterous site without adding new site-names to.posterous.com(without polluting the.posterous.com"namespace" and without the minimal risk that these names are already taken). - Or should I just write a blog entry for the about and imprint stuff and link to these posts from my Posterous profile visible from the main blog site?
How do other Posterous users handle this? Do you use Posterous mainly as a distribution list to streaming posts to different other web-services, but it isn't your central site?
Will be interesting to see what Posterous themes will add to the integration picture.
