Technical Question about Delicious and LJ/DW

[charmian]

Is there a technical reason why the blog posting thing at Delicious (it will automatically crosspost a daily digest of your delicious links) doesn't work with Livejournal or DW without the usage of an external script?

Hmm, looks like the encoding display problem may've been fixed:

Can't actually edit the post for auto formatting though. I normally go through it afterwards, pretty ip up and retitle it like so:

Ah well. I guess when I've got my own server space again I can look into some sort of automation, in the meantime, no link posts, which doesn't make much difference currently.

Since your server's not up this isn't useful to you now, but for future reference you might want to check out wistfuljane's post "How to make delicious' Blog Posting work for Dreamwidth using the original Delicious Glue". Of especial interest is probably the comment thread with afuna, where she explains how to set up the script such that Dreamwidth lets you edit the resulting posts.

Ah, most excellent, I had indeed missed that completely. Danke.
