As some of you might have noticed, I've switched everything from the old site over to my new Posterous account. The decision didn't come easy, but I'm afraid it had to be made. The spam on my old Symphony install was getting way out of hand and maintaining the system was become a bit more laborious than it should have been.

Don't get me wrong, I still love Symphony as a platform, but with no upgrade path to the latest version I had to face losing everything I've posted so far. I fully realize that there's always the alternative of manually transferring over all the old content, but seriously, who really has the time to do that shit?

Why Posterous? Well, for one, it's clean. Everything within the management console has a clear and defined purpose. It's also dead simple to use. All I have to do send my account an email and it's posted, ready to go. My old version of Symphony was getting so slow and buggy, I just wanted to leave it behind and start fresh. Fresh without having to manually transfer over all my content.

Simply put, I chose Posterous over all the other blogging services because it is the most low-touch solution I've found that has everything I need to blog and nothing I don't.

Now, with all the maintenance crap out of the way, I can focus more on writing new stuff more often! And what better way to start than to explain how you can import content from any blog directly into your Posterous account.

Stay tuned!
