Works like a dream - yay!

Adding a new account was easy and intuitive, I like how you can set defaults then manage them as you post.

Crossposting picked up title, tags, bolded text, numbered lists, usernames common to LJ+DW and URLs.

Didn't notify on success - agree option to turn off or notify on fail would be good.

Broke LJ-cut ("/lj-cut" jumped up a few lines) but I think this is an LJ-rich text editor problem because it does it to me on LJ anyway if "lj user=x" is present.

OK, I had a duplicate entry created on DW when the LJ 'clone' post was commented on.

1. Post to DW and crosspost to LJ
2. Receive a comment on LJ post
3. Look at http://samvara.dreamwidth.org/ and note duplicate entry - one with the comment on it, one without
4. Delete DW entry with zero comments
5. Observe LJ post is now deleted as well
6. Laugh
7. Edit + Save DW post
8. Entry reposted to LJ (raw, without comment attached)

1. Attempt to reproduce (see http://samvara.dreamwidth.org/386028.html and http://black-samvara.livejournal.com/424777.html). No duplicate as yet - is there some sort of scheduled job running that tries to synch them up?

I am really freakin impressed if the plan is to keep the cross-posted entries in synch.

It sounds like you had the importer running between the time the entry was first posted and the time you noticed the duplicate entry; the same thing happened to me. It's not automatic; I plan to keep running the importer every few weeks to pick up stray comments.

I think you're right!

I also think importing is going to make more sense than cross-posting at this point for me.
