I like the idea of Posthaven, but the academic research lab I used to work with can't afford to move its ~10 Posterous blogs to Posthaven at $5 each per month.

I like the idea of Posthaven, but the academic research lab I used to work with can't afford to move its ~10 Posterous blogs to Posthaven at $5 each per month. One of the nice things about Posterous was that you could create new blogs freely to clearly separate different projects within an organization. Charging per-blog removes this affordance and we're back to the Wordpress-style monolithic blog. I can't find anyway to contact the Posthaven guys about this.

Hey yeah email us garry@posthaven.com -- it's not per blog though, it's per account (10 blogs per account at $5/mo) -- sorry for the confusion. The other thing we were thinking of doing is having "contributor" accounts per blog -- so each blog is owned by the primary admin, but contributors can contribute without a paying account.

  That sounds like a good plan.

  Great, thanks. That should sort us out. Wasn't able to find that info on the Posthaven website.

  Yes, contributors please! I've been looking for a WP alternative for my blog but I need the ability to invite guest posters.

  Need custom CSS or at least logo linked to one's main site, need contribs, and need posting API. Thrilled with migration and performance so far. Hope you can get branding available before that countdown clock zeros!

If what you are doing on your blogs isn't worth $5/month each maybe you should stop.

I'd recommend http://justmigrate.com/ http://justmigrate.com/, which facilitates migrating to Tumblr. I've always been of the opinion that Tumblr was the superior platform all along, and certainly beats shelling out $5 per month.

  That is - until it dies a sad, slow, death just like Posterous "never" would.

    In my opinion, Tumblr has far more endurance than Posterous ever did. Tumblr is a social hegemon and is making money, neither of which could be accomplished to any meaningful extent by Posterous. Even if it was acquired, it's far too valuable of a property to simply be shut down.

      > Tumblr is a social hegemon and is making money Is it? I know it has revenue, but is it turning a profit?
