I’ve been thinking about the challenges of blogging in Ethiopia – and the best solution I can come up with is to set up a Posterous blog to let me post by e-mail. I had originally chosen a very light WordPress theme for this blog, but I think even that will be too difficult. Logging in to the dashboard, then selecting “add new post” could take 10 minutes or longer. Then, if I write and edit my post online – it could all be lost in a powercut.

A much better solution, I think, is to write my post offline in Thunderbird – and then e-mail it to Posterous when I’m at an internet connection. So that’s what I’ll do.
