New Plugin: Xanga CrossPoster

Because many of my friends use Xanga, I have been wanting to add a Xanga cross-posting feature to my WordPress blog. I knew that such a plugin was already available (Croissxanga), but because the developer’s website was down indefinitely, I could not download it. Wanting to add the feature before second semester started, I ported Mark Wang’s MT Perl script to a WordPress PHP plugin.

While that much would simply be a duplication of the Croissxanga plugin, I have extended Wang’s script to support syncing edits and deletes from WordPress to Xanga. In other words, if you edit or delete a post on WordPress, your change will be synced with Xanga (only applies to entries posted after the plugin is installed, unless set up manually).

The new plugin is available at my blog:
