This blog will now post entries automatically to my Live Journal feed.

I’ve been annoyed for quite some time that I had to have an LJ account to post to any blog on live Journal. If people followed my link, they came to a dead LJ page instead of to Wordpress. I’m happy to say that’s no longer a problem.

Head on over to http://jlapp.livejournal.com/ if you’d like to see the result of a cross post. Worth checking out.

Thanks for the comment, James! I noticed that you’ve actually solved this problem before it even began by simply linking to your LJ and posting there.

Hey, cool. Nice job, I’ve alwasy disliked that as well. How difficult is this to set up? And do you just disable comments on the lj so folks have to comment only on the real blog?

Jason,

It’s just a plugin for wordpress. Stupidly easy to install (e-mail me, and I’ll send it to you). I think you have the option to disable comments, but look at my LJ. On top of every post it says something like “Originally posted at Without Really Trying. Leave a comment there” or something.

Great idea, I think I might do this.

E-mail me and I’ll send you the plugin.
