Someone advised me to leave a comment discussing my adventures with the crossposter, so here goes!
1) The basic thing it needs to do -- x-post entries you've just written in DW over to LJ -- works beautifully. I also love that if you edit said entry, it will edit the entry on your LJ, too. Magical!
2) One issue, though: If you flock and filter the post, it will cross-post to LJ as flocked, NOT filtered. (I'm not sure if this is an issue with the x-poster, or because a lot of my DW filters are currently populated with OpenIDs, so it doesn't match the LJ filters exactly... Don't know.) Either way, DW users: if you have sensitive stuff that you only want a trusted, filtered few reading, it's better to x-post it as Private and fiddle with the security manually on LJ for now.
3) I decided to see if the x-poster would also work with editing older entries that have been imported from LJ. The answer is: sometimes?
- Sometimes, it would create a copy, on LJ, of the old post.
- Sometimes, the code would change and look all DW-y (extra tags at the line breaks, etc.) but the edits wouldn't take.
- Tags were never able to take.
Anyway, just FYI. It's a really awesome tool, though.
