and things went downhill from there

I see the LJ cross-post feature is being spotty again today. I am pretty sure that LJ is the culprit here, and even though Dreamwidth is my preferred blog these days, I still want my posts to go to LJ for folks who still hang out there.

To that end, this is a test post to see if I can address the issue on my own. I think I have figured out how to get Semagic to post to both services at the same time, and if this shows up on both blogs then I shall call it a success and move on. I've disabled the cross-posting feature in my DW account, and I'm going to see how the client handles it.

It is possible that I may need to add an extra step each time I post a new entry (I'll find out when I hit "send"), but this post is my way of finding that out.

Update: The cross-post failed, which just means I need to take an extra step when posting. If you are seeing this on LJ then the extra step worked.

The latest Semagic has become an unstable piece of excrement under Win2K. I'm going to see if I have an older version that I can roll back to, but right now I'm dead in the water. =/

Has anyone else had problems with the later versions? Does anyone else out there use Semagic?

[Edit: I found an older version kicking around and it runs just fine, so until further notice I'm going to keep using version 1.5.1.5U.]
