For those of you trying to set up a Posterous account for the first time, that part of the site continues to be down. It is not your computer or browser or internet connection. Apparently it has been an issue for over a week (so says online reports).
What to do? Don't worry about it at this point. I may need to jump ship and have us use a different blogging site if it doesn't get rectified super soon. I'll let you know asap what course we will take.
For those of you with prior Posterous accounts, you shouldn't have any issue logging in and modifying or creating new spaces. I won't add your blog to the class blog until I know if Posterous is viable.
Thanks for being patient!
