Hi Nischal

Can you please have a look at the page that I’d just set up? Its giving me a bit of a problem. Could you help me diagnose what’s the problem, I’ve tried removing the space after the URL as well but to no avail. Your help is much appreciated.

I wonder why doesn’t posterous include this feature in a more straightforward manner as oppose of having to go through the hassle of doing this.

Really appreciate the tip. I had the same problem as David, for some reason, but the new code you posted worked. Strange, since it looks the same except that there’s a space after the URL in the a href tag. Anyway, thanks!

Okay, it worked… it seems identical to what I put before. even here in your comments area, i typed it as i had it and your site made the html adjustment and made links.

Either way, I’m glad it works now – it’s so much better.

I just saw that Posterous changed their web editor and I can’t find the “advanced editing” option, so I did this all just in time. I like the suggestion to email a post to private@ that appfreak mentioned. One way or another there is a way to add pages!

Thanks so much!

@David

u weren’t the one who added that “nofollow” thingy. hahah… stupid me.. wordpress did that.. I’m so sorry.

You can remove that from your link.. it’s not needed…

so the new code you need to paste is :

Thank you both for replying. Here’s the info: First the two urls, then what I put in the Bio area as you said:

#1: http://davidfmartinez.posterous.com/private/EjAEntkikD

#2: http://davidfmartinez.posterous.com/private/iJAEtsBcAk

Pasted:
About
Links

From my view I seem to have none everything as mentioned. I’m wondering if my particular theme in someway limits this trick from working? Or I’ve missed a small error.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

davidmartinez, simply send an email to private@posterous.com, wait for a confirmation email that will give you the direct link. Then you can use it as Nischal has explained.

@David

I mean, what’s the url / link of the private posts that you have created?
