I’ve seen reports that cross-posting from Dreamwidth to LiveJournal did not work anymore. My blog runs on WordPress on my own site, but I cross-post everything to my LiveJournal. I had not written an entry since I’ve seen those reports, so I did not know whether it would still work - but the entries still go up. So it’s not the API itself that was ( Read more... )

Today is my LiveJournalversary -- my first entry was seven years ago, just after I bought an invite code (which were still de rigeur those days).
