This post is a revisit to a blog post I wrote months ago. I felt I had to, given the way posterous is changing now.

The other day an a-list blogger asked about simple blogging tools. Seconds after I recommended posterous, he said: no, not things like posterous, something to run myself.

I had to scratch my head after that, and revisited my reasons to run my blogs on posterous, and to even point my domain names to them. All of them checked off and more. It is even better now they have started themes. It took me five minutes tops to get the theme installed, and I am really happy with it.

It made me revisit my wordpress using days, and the fiddling I had to do to make my blog look simple but yet all me. This blog is. It is simple to post any content, it is bliss, because I don't need to fidget with hosting my blog myself. It just works, and that's perfection.

Then someone told me the other day, that not using wordpress or any other self hosted blogs, showed I am not professional. I just shrugged. If people are so shallow, that they think I need to self host my blog for it to be taken serious, they aren't my public.

My public is people who want to make positive, lasting changes in their life. Who want to live a simple, fulfilled, blissful life. Who don't mind that my blog has the lil posterous logo on top, but who come here to read something that inspires them.

So, I posterous.
