Why is this man smiling?
Like he needs a reason…. How about Ellen is finally home after an eight-day trip around south Georgia? Welcome back, honey.
Hmm. Blogs Narrow. Must Widen.
If I’m going to post more pictures right from my phone, I’ll need a wider column for my posts on my WordPress blogs so they don’t seem to stick out all over. No biggie on facebook, which shrinks ‘em down, and on Posterous there’s lots of room. Ah, it never ends. But it’s fun to learn! Posted via email from timmerritt’s posterous
No Yelling Any More.
The last few posts were via SMS and they all came up in caps. Not pretty. Have to find out about that, but in the meantime, it’s posting via email only. Here’s another pic for the heck of it. Some lines and angles around the College of Education:

This photo is from a custom bicycle contest at Venice Beach last year—two-wheeled low-riders. Nice! This post is also a test of integrating my Posterous site with Facebook and my other blogs. Thanks for going along!

The SMS posted to timmerritt not dvforteachers; my oversight. Nonetheless, the SMS showed up right away, so you could use any RSS-capable tool to subscribe to the class\’s posterous sites and gather them that way, it seems.
I was looking at it some more today – there can be multiple authors via email, but it seems only one phone number per posterous site.
BUT…
Do this: set up a Posterous for the class. Give each student her own Posterous and subscribe the main one to their posts. This email is a test; I\’ve created a second Posterous at dvforteachers.posterous.com and subscribed to it at timmerritt.posterous.com. I\’m CC\’ing this email to the DVforteachers one to see if it shows up on the other. In a minute, I\’ll send an SMS to this one to see if it too shows up on the other.

Might Posterous work for you? Your students would have to email from their phones, but it might do all you want it to since it can tie into so many other services.
