Progress made on Live+Press

I think I may have mentioned this before (don’t wanna reread old posts atm) but I’m going to start supporting Livepress (or a fork of it anyways). There hasn’t been an updated release made by the original owner of it since wordpress 2.0, sometime in 2006.

So at any rate, the one improvement I’ve made that excites me the most is that any email or cell phone post made to wp will automatically get crossposted to lj. I had spent days trying to get lp to do this back in January in conjunction with another plugin but that failed miserably and I soon gave up on it.

Well the copy I’ve been working on now does this flawlessly. I’ve learned far more about how the wordpress code than I wanted but I’m stoked I finally got this shit working how I’d wanted it back in January for our disney vacation. It would have been nice to snap a cell phone picture and send it directly to livejournal during that trip. Better late than never I guess.

I’ve made a few other changes as well:
