Once you are set up as a contributor, you can easily email in a post by sending an email to post@associationtech.posterous.com.  

The subject line of your email will be the post title, the body of your email will be the post.  

You can add tags by entering them in the subject line:  ((tags: AMS, social media))

Strip out your signature by ending your post with #end.
