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.

The same way! The crossposter will translate the < user name=name site=site.com > into the actual raw html so that on LJ, the DW (or IJ or whichever) icons show up as appropriate.

ETA to clarify - if you're doing a DW link, you can just do user name=name!

I just tested this through the crossposter, and [user name="blahblahblah"] shows up on LJ with the DW icon and as a link.

[user name=anatsuno site="dreamwidth.org"] works fine. :D

You're the only person I've ever seen that is able to skip using the quote marks on journals -- except me. The only thing I ever need them for are lj-cuts (or cuts) for text. I always forget to mention the quotes marks when teaching someone coding, and end up making things harder for them. :)

I always thought it was my mac Safari browser, but you're not on a mac, are you?
