Just testing to see how Posterous treats image files when posting by email.

Posterous is an interesting service that enables easy uploading of many media types to multiple social sites like Twitter, Flickr, blogs, etc. If you are not interested in seeing if Posterous worked, move on, nothing much of interest here.

This is a test post to see what it does to images sizes directed at several destinations. The original attached image size (the flower) is 3209 × 2848 pixels and 1.5 MB.

I am not sure where the text ends up on the various services, and how it will be formatted. 

It is also a test of formatting.

This email should post it once, and only once, to each of Blogger, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and Flickr, as well as a Posterous blog which I don't really want but it insists on using, as far as I can tell. It could be useful if you don't already have a blog.

Actually, I am on other places as well, but Posterous can not get to them.

I have no good reasons for so many sites, only excuses

• My most credible excuse is that I have been doing this sort of thing for many years and as the world changes, I move on, carrying the detritus of a long life in technology and photography
• My other excuse is that I am a geek and I enjoy finding out how this stuff works and wondering why anybody in their right mind would want to do it

Oddly enough, Posterous can be found at www.posterous.com

If a rather unexceptional picture of a flower (which is being sent as an attachment) does not appear, then the test was a partial failure.

In addition, I am embedding, rather than attaching, a 2888x2475 pixel 1.7 MB page of images from our last trip to Turkey, to check if Posterous cares how the image is sent from the Gmail client.
