In viewing “page source” on several big time Posterous blogs I noticed that they didn’t have meta tags. On my last post about editing Posterous, I asked Tal Shafik (@Talsh) about enabling meta title and description tags on Posterous and he gave me the tip to add tags in “enable advanced theming” mode. You can only do this for the blog itself, not for the individual posts.
To get there:
Go to “Manage”, click on the little arrow on the “Post by email” button, and click “Theme my site”. There you click on Advanced, and “Enable advanced theming”.
For the time being I decided to leave the title tag alone.
I added a description meta tag below the title tag in the default theme. You’ll find the title tag just below “style” and above “head” and “body”.

Need-less-to-say what you should really be doing here is customizing your theme. Posterous has a theming reference (this Posterous link is no longer available as the Posterous website has been shut down)
Here is a Posterous google dev group and the posterize.us (no longer available) link to the Posterize Forum.
Happy Posterizing.
Nice! Looks like you also figured out the inline image bit. Did you embed the image code or through Email?
Actually, I sent the image through email. More experiments soon.
Thanks to you I could do it in 5 minutes! Great, thank you! JC @ http://muinewindsurf.posterous.com
Thanks a lot as it was very much needed from the day i started blogging on Posterous blogs.Though, still there are some questions regarding this, like how to insert link in header images.Will check the references you mentioned here. Thanks again.http://socialadrmonkee.posterous.com/
Nice that the tags on Posterous posts work well. That’s how you and Mui were able to find ‘how to add a meta description tag on Posterous.’ I wrote that 3 years ago when my alter ego was my blog name ItsDifferent4Girls but I think I’ll leave it for now. I see you have not yet added Posterous to http://social-bookmarkings.posterous.com/#!/social-bookmarking-sites-an-overviewPosterous has great support. You can just ask them. Though I don’t know if they’ll be enthusiastic about your auto-bookmarking system. What country are you writing from?
