Well, LJXP isn't working for me right now. It's either (a) something with my GoDaddy host that I'm not allowed to do; (b) something I've got messed up with my WordPress install; (c) computers hate me; or (d) some combination of the above.
That's ok though – I've got a satisfactory kludge to meet my needs.
I can write posts w/ Journler, and I can format them pretty much how I want to – it's totally WYSIWYG. Journler can post both to my WordPress blog and to my LJ. It does this by bringing up another window, where it shows my post w/ HTML. I choose the blog I wish to use – at this point I can drop in the LJ code snippet for the header you see above (if you're reading this on LJ).
The sad part is I wrote an AppleScript that dropped it right into the Journler post – and it worked! But it was HTML code to make the cute border, and links and everything – so when I went to post, the < and > got oh so helpfully translated to & l t ; and & g t ;. Sigh. See? Here's the snippet:
<p style='border: 1px solid black; padding: 3px;'><b>Originally published at <a href='https://robandjen.com/jen/'>Jen's Corner</a>. You can comment here or <a href='https://robandjen.com/jen/XXX/'>there</a>.</b></p>
It would've worked perfectly – all I'd have to do is change the XXX to the wordpress posts' url.
So! My fix is, instead, to use SOHO notes, which I love. I've got the code snippet in a Note, and the note is set to a spot on my right-click mouse menu. Works fantastically – I didn't need to bother w/ AppleScript. Actually, SOHO Notes duplicates Journler in a lot of ways – maybe I should just go with that. Hmm. Gotta see if it will post to both blogs. Plus, Journler, while powerful, pretty, and cool just bugs me because the name is misspelled. :)
So again! I'm extremely pleased with this solution – that I solidified while writing this post. Awesome!
