So I've never, ever gotten DW to successfully crosspost to LJ for me. And since the majority of folks I interact with are still on LJ itself, with DW as a backup, that's never been a big concern. But I do want to post to both locations, and cutting and pasting wasn't my favorite option.

After a few months, I decided that the better solution would be to find a client that would allow cross-posting. I don't like creating posts on the web anyway, since I often have about ten half-started posts going at once. And for years, AsLJ worked beautifully.

Then sometime in the last few days, it decided that it couldn't connect to DW. At all (yes, I've tried re-entering the pw, reinstalling, etc). Which means that my current workflow involves creating the post in AsLJ, posting it, getting an error message for the DW half of things, then cutting and pasting the post into the DW web editor. Not ideal.

Does anyone use any Mac clients that allow easy cross-posting?

Oooo! I hope you get a good answer! I've been trying to solve this problem for myself.

Semagic (http://semagic.sourceforge.net/index.html) is the only client I've ever used, but I'm on Windows so I'm not sure how it does for Mac (but they do have a Mac version, too). I've never had any issues with it.

Apparently, it can be set to crosspost to DW (http://getting-started.dreamwidth.org/870.html).

Semagic definitely will crosspost to DW but there isn't really a Mac version of it. When they talk about using it on a Mac they're talking about running the Windows version under WINE.

Really? I've been posting on Dreamwidth all year and I've never had a problem with it cross-posting to LJ.

I also post on DW and cross post to LJ. It seems to keep working, even though I barely use the functionality...

Now, the crossposting from LJ to FB... that stops working regularly. It's not working today, although it says it is... so that's a change...
