Posting to DW from Flickr, and a Cross-posting Question
I just figured out how to post to DW from Flickr, and thought I'd share! Original helpful post here.
Log in to Flickr. Go to Your Account > Extending Flickr > Your Blogs (Edit) > Add A(nother) Blog
For LJ, there was a handy option in the drop-down for type of blog. For DW, select Blogger/API Enabled.
The API endpoint is www.dreamwidth.org/interface/blogger. You will also need to enter your DW username and password. Standard password sharing caution applies!
You will be given a drop-down menu with a list of blogs you have access to (including your own). Select your blog. Give your new post-to blog a name. Done!
You can also use this method to post to communities here and on LJ, and (in theory) other LJ based sites.
And now my question: Posting to DW this way (and via Semagic) does not trigger DW's cross-posting, even though I have cross-posting set to automatic. Posting from the DW site cross-posts successfully. Bug? Feature? Am I doing it wrong?
