Pages are designed to be static and are not designed to be posted to. They are ideal for an “About Me” or “About this Space” page that will be viewable when visitors visit your Space’s website.

You can also add tags when using the Web Editor, using the Post Options tab in the right sidebar:

To edit a tag, edit a post and click Post options tab.

You can also schedule your posts for future posting from the bookmarklet and the editor by going to the Post Options section and selecting “Schedule this post for the future”:

When you send an email to Posterous, the domain you send the email to determines which Space it is posted on. The domain is the part of the email address to the right of the “@” symbol.

When you email post@posterous.com, your email will be published to the primary Space on your Posterous account. If you only have one Space, that’s your primary! If you have more than one, it’s the first one you created.

You can also choose which Posterous site to post to by using that Space address to the left of the “@” in the email address.

To post media to your Space from the post editor, you must have Adobe Flash installed. To install Flash, click here.

Download the Flash Player installer (or install it from the pop up bar under your address bar if you’re using Internet Explorer) and double click the installer to install the Flash plugin. Restart your browser and when you create a post, the Media Upload button should function normally.

Differences in formatting can occur because of differences in the way some programs display your post and the HTML we display as your post on your Posterous Space. The conversion between the two is sometimes imperfect.

Instead of composing messages in a word processor and then copy and pasting it into your email client (or the Web Editor), we recommend composing your posts directly in your email client.

We’re constantly trying to improve our text processing to make sure your post appears just as you intended. If you see consistent errors, please email us at help@posterous.com and include the email

Using the Posterous Bookmarklet, you can post about interesting, funny, or shareworthy things as you surf the web. Click here and follow the instructions on the page to drag the Share on Posterous link to your browser’s bookmark bar.

You can then click it on any website and it will automatically grab an excerpt from the site you are browsing on and allow you to add a comment and then post it to the space of your choice.

Guest posts are posts submitted by non-members of that Space. Each Space has its own designated posting email. For instance, blog.posterous.com can be posted to by emailing blog@posterous.com or post@blog.posterous.com.

If you allow guest posting, anyone who emails that email will have the ability to submit a post to your Space with your approval.

You can find unmoderated guest posts in your Dashboard and choose to Approve or Delete them.
