Hi,

I'm posting to this community using eXpostulate, a cross-posting blog client that I've built in Tcl/Tk.

eXpostulate is pretty rudimentary, at most levels, but has some nifty features on others. I have plans to make more modifications, especially in specific reference to dreamwidth (need to modify insertion menu to include DW specific tags for cut, user, community, etc.), adding more entry fields for location, privacy, etc.

But the advantage that eXpostulate has is that one can write a post, then simply click 4 buttons and fire said post off to four different blog communities (livejournal, insanejournal, deadjournal & dreamwidth). Unlike other clients (logjam, for instance) the user need not login to service1, write post, send post, reload post, logout, login into service2, send post, reload post ...
Once the post is written, it can be x-posted to all four, and to as many relevant communities, with relative ease and efficiency.

eXpostulate is "themable" (user may configure the colors of the interface), posts to 4 blogging services (soon to come, wordpress and blogger functions, as well, possibly more), and has some useful editing functions (will be adding more html tag insertion options soon, too).

eXpostulate has been developed on a debian/gnu/linux stable system, but is crossplatform. Additionally, eXpostulate is released according to the terms of the Gnu Public License v. 3, or later.
