IMport from LiveJournal or DeviantArt

Post by koltregaskes »

Hello,

Is it possible to import posts from LiveHournal? I know there is a plugin to post from your Serendipity blog to LJ but can it go the other way? Also is it possible to import from DeviantArt? DA alows you to blog to Digg, LJ and MySpace now.

Hi!

IF LJ or DA offer RSS feeds, yes, you can import entries via RSS feeds. Either manually from the admin "Import" section, or automatted via the 'RSS Aggregator' event plugin.

Best regards,
Garvin

I don't know about LJ, I will have to check but DA has RSS feeds but the images don't come through, which is what I'm after :-(

If you provide an example, we might be able to debug a little more thoroughly. Which DA account do you use, and what's its RSS feed URL?

Sorry for the long reply. I can't see any RSS feeds for specific images on DA, so I guess blogging any images from DA is impossible?

Sorry; I thought you wanted to blog all images created by a particular Deviant. Now I'm thinking you want to blog about particularly interesting images you find on DeviantArt.

Which are you looking for?

In that case, you probably just want a bookmarklet. Check out this forum post: http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?t=69 ... ookmarklet

It lets you blog whatever page you happen to be on. Would that do your jog?
