Today I made the switch from Posterous to WordPress. It’s a move I’ve been contemplating for months and preparing for the last several days. Posterous has been great, but I’m ready for more. WordPress gives me more control over my website(s) and content. It’s more work than Posterous, but I think it’s worth it.
The recent redesign of Posterous to Posterous Spaces gave me the incentive to proceed with the switch. Personally, I find the new Posterous Spaces more difficult to use, but not in a good way. Meaning that the extra level of difficulty didn’t bring more powerful features; it just made the service harder to use.
Posterous is still a good service, and I plan to leave an archive of thegeniusfiles at http://thegeniusfiles.posterous.com indefinitely. But moving forward, new content will be at http://thegeniusfiles.com which is powered by WordPress MU.
Thanks, Posterous. I appreciate your contributions to the blogosphere. Best wishes for your continued success.
I’m planning a similar move from Flickr Pro in the coming days. More on that later.
