Cross-Posting to Dreamwidth
Yay! I got it working!
I’m now crossposting this journal to Dreamwidth in addition to InsaneJournal, JournalFen, and LiveJournal.
(I have to say, Dreamwidth’s customization innovations are awesome. It was so much simpler to make my journal pretty there than at the other journaling sites!)
Comments are still centralized at my own site. As before, my real journal is at rusty-halo.com. If you want to get to know each other, add me at whichever journaling site you prefer and register at my site so you can comment on locked entries (anyone can comment on public entries). If you just want to read my public posts, you can subscribe to my journal by RSS or just read it at rusty-halo.com.
I’m trying to keep up with my reading lists at all four sites, but the ones I’ll read most are Dreamwidth and LiveJournal. I’m trying to find all my LJ/IJ/JF friends on DW; if I’ve missed you, please let me know so I can add you.

I’m netweight there too, though I still haven’t gotten around to actually post anything there or even retire the OpenID login. I will say something once I do. I’m glad you’re there too. :)

Yay! I’ve added you. :)
If you use Dreamwidth as your main account, I think you can set it to automatically crosspost to IJ, JF, and/or LJ.
I definitely think Dreamwidth is the best LJ-alternative out there. I’m very much hoping to see a large part of fandom migrate over there. *crosses fingers*

Wohoo! I set up Dreamwidth cross-posting yesterday too — my first actual post to Dreamwidth, LOL. Your customizations look great.
BTW, I have to ask since I had some trouble — you use NextGEN Gallery, right? How do you insert your images into posts so that they cross-post to the LJ clones? On my cross-posted entries, just the raw bracketed code showed up. Or do you link to your photos using regular HTML? (Or do you no longer use NGG?)

Thanks!
I use NextGEN gallery, but basically just because it’s convenient as a photo gallery. For images I just write out the HTML code (it’s easier that way for me anyway).
I think you’d have to write a plug-in (or a customized version of the crossposter scripts) specifically to get it to convert the NextGEN bracketed code into actual image HTML for the LJ clone sites.
