a coding question re user names

[princessofgeeks]

Okay, so I'm using the crosspost feature here to post to my LJ simultaneously when I make a DW post in my DW journal. All copacetic.

And I know how to code the names of DW users on DW, so that that shows up as a link to their profile page, and furthermore, now I know how to code so as to make the LJ account user names show up as links in the traditional LJ manner on both the DW side and the LJ side.

My question is:

*drumroll*

How do I code the DW user names so that ON THE LIVEJOURNAL SIDE (through the crossposter), they will show up with the cute new little gray DW user symbol and become a live link there?

Maybe those instructions exist, but I have not found them. Thank you in advance for your help.

well, i'm doing something wrong. what about quote marks? do I need them anywhere?

I tried what you're showing me and it didn't seem to work. I'll experiment again.

could it be the wrong sort of quote marks coming across?

Hmmmm I tried it without quote marks and it seemed to work... but you could do < user name="name" site="site.com" > and see if that helps.

Do you have a link to an entry you've tried where it didn't work? I can take a look at your html to see if I can spot how to fix it.

i tested several things and then deleted the posts so i sadly do not have a record of what i did. i should have left them! i didn't think about a trail of breadcrumbs for diagnosis. *facepalm* see, I learned something there.

but I'm almost certain it was the quote marks and also I was probably leaving out the space between user and name.

thanks so much.
