Set Up a Memorial Site in 5 Minutes

The easiest way to set up a blog or web site is with Posterous. The important thing with a memorial site is allowing people to post as easily as possible.

I received news that my longtime friend drummer Paul Lagos passed away on October 19th, 2009. I wanted to find a way to gather people who knew him to honor his memory and help organize an event for him as well.

Setting up Remember Paul Lagos took less than 5 minutes and has allowed friends and family to post and comment without opening accounts. All they need to do is send an email to an address and their messages are posted immediately (or in this case, with moderation).

What a great, free way to make a memorial site happen. Kudos to Posterous, which I already was using for my "memoirs".
