Ask HN: Posterous and existing sites?

Wordpress never clicked for me. I did better with Textpattern but remained frustrated. I started a Posterous account today and I posted all kinds of stuff to it in a fairly short time. At first blush, it appears the whole 'submit via email' format is as wonderful as they claim. I also have a couple of websites that everyone refers to as blogs anyway, even though they aren't. But those sites have donate buttons, Adsense ads and affiliate programs which help pay for my hosting costs and domain names. They also have historical stuff, some of which is organized by subject to try to present an overview of information.

Does anyone know if there is either a means to use Posterous to run a blog on your own hosted site or if it is possible to put ads and donate buttons and stuff like that on a Posterous site? If I could work out some of those issues (and a few other things), I would seriously consider moving all my sites to Posterous or at least using Posterous to manage a portion of each site. For me, not updating my sites with content frequently enough has been a major issue and this looks like it might go a long way towards resolving it. Though running my own sites has caused me to learn a little (x)html and css, I'm not really a hacker and that end of things has been an impediment for me to site development. I have not been able to get site navigation to work right in Textpattern and, well, most (or all) of my sites could probably stand to radically evolve in order to breathe life into them.

Thanks in advance for any information or suggestions.
