Some users would like to be able to define a &#8220;metablog&#8221; in MarsEdit and have posts to that destination simulcast to multiple blogs.<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;m hesitant to change the MarsEdit interface to support crossposting more automatically, because I think it would be to the detriment of users who use it for more conventional purposes. But future development plans might make it possible to support crossposting as a &#8220;scripted action&#8221; that runs whenever you publish to a particular blog.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the mean time, a great solution is to rig something up on your weblog server. In particular, I know of one plugin for WordPress that <a href=\"http:\/\/ebroder.net\/livejournal-crossposter\/\">automates the process<\/a> of crossposting from WordPress to LiveJournal.
