I’m trying out the LiveJournal Crossposter, but if I post using w.Bloggar client (which I usually do), does it autosync to LJ?
Let’s find out, shall we?
[Edit: Nope, not so much, but if I add something via the front-end in WordPress, I bet it updates.]

Hi – I wrote LJXP and got the ping from your link.
I just tested on my account using w.Bloggar and it worked fine…have you made any changes to the source code (other than changing the post header)?
Drop me an e-mail,

Thats because when you post from w.bloggar it uses the XMLRPC.php file to do the posting on the fly which bypasses the crossposter. We may need to ask the plugin writer to add some hooks to allow this to work.

Hi Evan,
The only thing I changed in the code was the cosmetic (header). That’s it. If I go into Edit (via Web Front End in WordPress) and update from in there, it crossposts. Also, do additional edits get crossposted? I’ll have to check it out.

Additional edits are copied. As are deletions.
Using XMLRPC instead of the forms shouldn’t affect things. Everything uses the official WP plugin hooks, which are called even with XMLRPC.
Wait a second…
Aha! You’re using WordPress 1.5.2. The current version of the plugin only works with 2.0. I said that I could backport my changes/fixes to the WP 1.5 version if there was demand, and I don’t have any homework, so I’m going to consider this “demand.”
If you go to the page for LJXP, there’s now a link to version 0.2beta, which should, in theory, work for you.

Evan, you maniac… :)
I’m not going to WP2.0 *just* yet (see my previous post on the issue), but I’ll try your .2beta, and thank for acting on a “demand” like my (more of a whine and a “I didn’t read the documentation”).
Thanks again.
