Posterous can autopost to blogs that support the standard MetaWeblog API and Really Simple Discovery protocols. This includes blogs from Wordpress, Typepad, Movable Type, Squarespace, Xanga, and Drupal.

In general, you’ll need to supply the username and password to your blog to give us access to autopost to it. Different sites have different username conventions - sometimes it’s your email, sometimes it’s something else. Check below for site-specific instructions.

In addition, we also support blogs from Tumblr and Blogger which do not use the MetaWeblog protocol.
