Busy times have hit here, so it’s a good time to find a blogging platform that makes posting super quick and easy. I started out setting up a new site as an experiment for work, but I like it so much I’m keeping it. It doesn’t change nest maker at all, it’s just a new place where I’ll post quick short posts of lust worthy plant pictures. No, maintaining a new blog technically doesn’t save me any time, but it’s so fast and easy, I feel efficient accomplished when I use it. I was so impressed with the tool itself, I thought it might be useful to other people, too. So, if you…

• Want to start a blog, but think it might be a lot of trouble, it doesn’t get easier. You send an email. That’s it. You have a blog. You write an email with your post – some words, maybe a picture, a video. It sets up a new page for you, it sizes your photos correctly. It’s simple and beautiful, fully functioning and free. You can do more stuff to customize it whenever you want to, and that’s super simple too. If you set up a new blog, I’d love for you to comment with the location and see what you created.
• Want to quickly share stuff you find on the internet. Sometimes I see something on another site and I want to blog about it, but the way I’ve been doing it, I save the picture from the other site, upload it, resize it, add a link to the original site, and write something about it. Pain. In. The. Neck. So mostly I never do it. But Posterous has a button you add on your browser menu, so if you see something you want to share, you hit that button, a little window pops up, and you add whatever you want to say, and post from there. It automatically adds credits and a link back to the original site.
• Wish you could to your existing blog like this you can have it autopost to your other blog. Or twitter, or facebook, or pretty much anything else you’d like. That’s how I did this post.

So, I like it, you might like it, check it out if you want to try it: posterous. This is the kind of stuff I’m posting over there:

Posted via web from Plant Lust’s posterous

For those who know I’m working on a big project named Plant Lust, the name of this site doesn’t mean this is THE Plant Lust website. I’m pretty ready to go with the design of Plant Lust, I’m just trying to get enough zeros in my bank account to have someone build it. It’s my goal that Plant Lust will be as easy to use as posterous, so this was good inspiration.
