crossposting via client?

I use LogJam for updating all the journaling services, and it seems to be okay here, too. But I don't suppose there's any Linux-friendly way of managing simultaneous cross-posting?

AFAIK, there's no Linux client that offers cross-posting functionality. (I am thisclose to learning C just so I can make one...) One person suggested to me the idea of posting to DW though LogJam, then loading the last entry back into LogJam and posting to LJ/IJ/DJ/whatever. I haven't tried it yet, though.

DW has plans for a built-in cross-poster. I'm looking forward to checking that out.

Not quite through a client, but I was checking into ping.fm recently for cross-posting via online service... you can set it up to update LJ, but they are missing the rest. I wonder if you can add IJ/DW as a custom URL.

"Settings / Custom URL
Put in your custom URL. This URL needs to point to a script that can accept Ping.fm messages."

That's where I'm stuck at the moment... If this custom url exists for dreamwidth, then it'll make me one happy ping.fm nerd tonight.

charm almost works; once you post, it archives your post to .ljarchive/postname, and outputs it, and then you can crosspost from the command line with

$charm -u USERNAME -q -x ARCHIVEFILE

In practice, I have to use

$charm -f CONFIGFILE -q -x ARCHIVEFILE

because I haven't managed to figure out how to get my accounts to share a config file peaceably, but it's still much easier than the next-most easy.

When posting from DW (not via client) there is now an option to crosspost to any other added DW or LJ platform.!

:D

I just joined this community, and I know it's rather late to be commenting on this, not to mention that Dreamwidth's own client's crossposting now works, but...
Before it did work, I ended up writing myself a crossposting perl script (using the LJ::Simple perl module) which crossposts an entry to multiple LJ-based journals at the same time. I did it because I found charm's crossposting ability left somewhat to be desired.

Would anyone be interested in me polishing it up and releasing it on CPAN as a proper script?
