I decided a while ago to move my personal site from Posterous to GitHub pages [1]. It's been a little tricky to set up but only because I'm fussy and haven't messed with css before. Still not finished since I can't find a sensible way to extract my content from Posterous (that dosen't involve the API).
With GitHub pages, you don't need to worry about the hosting aspect and you'll always have a copy of your site locally. Pretty sure you can deal with the .htaccess file stuff too.
If you decide to look into this, check out Jekyll-bootstrap too [2].

- sstarr 15y agoI moved mine from Tumblr to GitHub recently and used a migration script to grab all the posts and turn them into Markdown files. There's a script that works with Posterous too: https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/blog-migrations https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/blog-migrations
- amirmc 15y agoYup, I already tried that script and I believe it's out of date. Open pull request at https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/pull/477 https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/pull/477 edit: I've just realised I don't need the code to be merged into jekyll in order to use it (facepalm). edit2: ok, maybe not as straightforward as I thought. I'm not really a coder so it takes me longer to understand what scripts are doing (and then tweak them so they work for me).
