Postach.io – The Easy Way to Blog

Postach.io bills itself as the world’s easiest blogging platform, and it just might be. Powered by Evernote, Postach.io provides its users with a way to quickly publish content from any mobile or desktop device.

If you already use Evernote to keep track of ideas, projects, and experiences, then getting started with Postach.io should take almost no time at all. Connect to the platform with your Evernote account, and create your first website. Give your site a name—for example, Jeff’s Coffee Blog—and choose a unique site URL. The blog content you create will be displayed in whichever theme you select, and you can customize that theme using HTML or CSS. Because Postach.io is powered by Evernote, you’ll immediately be able to turn your any notes you’ve saved in the app into blog posts. Just write in Evernote, and type “published” when your post is ready to go.

Choosing Evernote to power its blogging platform has allowed the team behind Postach.io to create a truly mobile product. Users can blog from any device that supports Evernote, including most smartphones, tablets, and desktop PCs. The platform even supports commenting with Disqus and Google Analytics, for bloggers who’d like to learn more about the people who visit their sites.
