Well, as of today, Evan Broder put me, and another [russian] person in charge of this plugin, which hasn’t been updated in a long time… maybe a year or more. After some tinkering with the Google Source page, fixing everything up there, removing all the old bug reports, I created a new website for it, if you’re somebody who uses a WordPress powered blog, but still have/had a LiveJournal, I highly suggest this plugin, it will automatically crosspost your entries to your LiveJournal, people who have friended you can even be forced to comment on your WordPress blog rather than your LiveJournal!
For more information please see the new website:
Update to this, we are now in the official wordpress repository of plugins. Your existing version SHOULD update automatically, if not please be sure to download the latest version.

Awesome, feel free to spend some of the SOWS fund to help the development costs =P
Or I’ll gladly take PayPal donations.
Joking aside though, be sure to tell anybody who runs a WordPress powered blog about this, as of right now most of the people who use this are russian, I’d love more english-speaking users!

Plugin installed, however I am too scared to use it.
When I set up WP on my site, I immediately imported all LJ posts. No problem.
I installed this plugin in the hope it would keep LJ and WP in sync, so as I post to one, it updates the other.
So: does it handle one post at a time?
Or is it going to try and overwrite all the previous posts?
Ideally, I’d like to have an option to import, or export one post (and maybe associated comments.
Until I know exactly what this will do, and not try and repeat earlier posts, I dare not use it and will have to just coy/paste html one post at a time.

@John, As you update your WP blog, this plugin will automatically cross-post those entries to your LJ account as well.
It will NOT crosspost comments, as that’s a far larger issues, and isn’t handled by me/my plugin. However, you CAN set up your LiveJournal posts to have a “footer” that directs them to your WP post to comment =D

Thanks, but as you say – “cross-post those entries” – plural, entries. My concern, as I mentioned, is to avoid this. I already have all the old entries cross-posted. I want to cross-post each entry *as I write and post them* from now on. To cross-post one entry at a time. Without repeating all the previous entries. That’s why I am too scared to use the plugin.

@John, It will work exactly how you want it to. It won’t re-post all the old ones again, it will do it one at a time as you write them, that’s exactly how it was designed to work!

What a relief! Whew, wipe sweat from brow and genuflect in your direction.
Seriously, many thanks. That dispels my fears and now I can start using it.
Cheers!

Love this plug-in! Thanks s much. One thing though… I was going to download it again to use for one of my site sub-domains.
But, I just found out that the page the plug-in is at seems to have expired?
Any idea if/when the plug-in will be accessible again?
Many Thanks!
