For well-polished basics, I don't think you can do any better than posterous.

I just created a posterous account.

Is it possible to add photos to a post after its been posted? I can see it gives you text editing, but no way of uploading photos?

Do you get to decide where the photos fall in-line with the text?

I don't know if you can do that with posterous or not, but I know WordPress is used for a lot of sites whose content relies heavily on images. peopleofwalmart.com would be a example.

It's also coded like shit and has security issues constantly. Anyone who uses wordpress on a site a hacker's spider might find is asking for trouble.

Exactly! That a blogging service doesn't let you insert images into a post using the web UI boggles my mind.

one slight turn off to posterous is that there seems to be no nice way to embed math in the same style as wordpress's latex integration. Is there such a way already or forthcoming?
