Livejournal and Facebook Crossposting

I’ve tried on and off to crosspost entries from my blog to my Livejournal, but I keep slacking off. So I installed a crossposting plugin that should do it automatically. It means that everything I post on my blog will also get posted on LJ, and I can’t post anything to LJ that’s not posted on the blog, which is sort of annoying. But anyway, I think it’ll be better than being so completely absent on LJ that I don’t keep up with my friends, which is what’s been happening. So if you’re subscribed to both my blog and LJ feeds (or my blog feed on LJ), you can pick one or the other, because they’re going to be identical from here on out. Unless I change my mind, in which case, I will tell you. In general, the blog is probably going to look prettier, because that’s where I write and preview posts. Just sayin’.

LJ people: Hi! I imported my blog posts to LJ, so if you scroll back, you should see most of them. I imported them as private (because I wanted to make sure it was working), and then switched most of them to public, but left a few that were no longer relevant or whatever. Just in case anyone starts comparing blog and LJ, that’s why posts before today aren’t necessarily identical. Also, any internal links in the posts are going to be to the blog and not the LJ.

Facebook people: Hi also! I’ve had my blog on my profile as an RSS feed for a while, but I decided to be a shameless self-promoter and use Facebook’s “import blog” feature to make them into notes. If it completely overwhelms y’all’s newsfeeds, let me know and I’ll do something different.

Now, theoretically, when I hit “publish,” this will also post on LJ and Facebook. We’ll see.
