### just post a string to a url, and we can figure out what type of post it is

chat_string = "Me: Hello
You: Hello back
Me: I need to get this blog done
Me: Like now
You: Yeah, you do
You: It really has been a while
Me: OK, that's enough from you"

quote_string = "Source: Me

>    This should be a quote."

article_string = "I am so happy that this works
=============================

This should be an article."

review_string = "Rating: 1.5

Toaster
======="

r2dstring = "Rating: 0
Item: Motorola Phone"

link_string = "URL: yahoo.com"

quote2_string = ">    This should be a quote."
