DW not crossposting to LJ?

[faedreamer]

I've noticed the last few days my DW posts are not crossposting to my LJ. I get this error in my inbox: Crosspost to faedreamer@LiveJournal failed.

Failed to crosspost entry to faedreamer@LiveJournal: Failed to connect to http://www.livejournal.com/interface/xmlrpc.

Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it? It worked beautifully up until about the beginning of this week. Thanks in advance!

It's due to the DDoS attacks on LJ. Once you get the error in your inbox, you'll need to go edit the entry that failed to crosspost, recheck the crosspost ticky box, and save the entry. That will tell DW to try again and hopefully, DW will be able to connect in round two. Until the DDoS attacks stop, there will be a much higher risk of failure in the crossposting feature.

I see jumpuphigh already answered your question, but I'll add that you might like to follow dw_maintenance. It's where you'll see announcements about this kind of problem and what's being done about them--so you know from the start that it's not just you. :-)
