posterous

Posterous is a very clever web app, it allows you to email blog entries – incredibly simple blogging. All you have to do is email your content to post@posterous.com, the subject becomes the title of the blog entry, any attachments are embedded into the post and formatted corrected – it even displays content from links, for example; if you add a url link to a youtube video posterous will grab the video and embed it into your post – rather than display just the text link.

You can’t format the layout – so it’s not a customisable as a Wordpress solution, but for if you are looking for a simple way into blogging, and adding your thoughts and observations to a space on the web you can call your own – then it’s worth looking into.
