Well, I’ve finally throw together a new MovableType to LiveJournal crossposting script. This post is actually my first real test of it. I used to have MT write out a temp file that a ping-triggered Perl script would read and post to LJ using the old flat interface. The new script is still triggered by a ping from MT, but now it uses the MT plugin interface to directly access the entry data and post it to LJ using their newer XML-RPC interface. It also now stores the LJ item id in MT’s PluginData so that it can update existing entries when they are edited.

I’ve tarred up the source and stuck it online, I’ll fix up a decent looking page for it at some point.
