Has discovered how to set up posterous for custom domains

At last I’ve stumbled my way into setting up Posterous with a custom domain, namely blog.darren-clarke.com.

Ok, I know it’s not rocket science, but what I’m trying to do is go through the process myself and then I can create a tutorial series for others to follow.

My intention is to use posterous as a respository for longer tweet like postings and also as a picture/video/sound file archiver.

If you can’t wait for my tutorials just send me a message and I’ll see if I can help you out.

Quick Thoughts and Advice For Real Twitter Success

Twitter Advice: Useful. Relevant. Interesting.

Hammer those words into your head and recite them like a mantra every time you sit down to write anything that's meant to instruct or entertain.

If you know your audience, you'll know what they'll find useful and relevant.

You'll never get it right for everyone, of course, but you don't have to. If you're close enough often enough, you'll earn a reputation with your followers that will carry you through the misfires.

Some definitions might be in order, especially for the folks who wonder how this applies to Twitter.

Useful: It accomplishes a purpose for the reader.

Relevant: It matters to them. (Yes, it's that simple.)

Interesting: It engages them, involves them and makes them want to know more.

Simple, yes? Yet the word "relevant" has become a buzzword. That says something very bad about the state of the Net…
