MySpace Posting

Hello,
I'm using the MySpace/LJ Update plugin to post to my Myspace blog. I think I've set it up correctly, and things seem to be working ok as I get this message at the end of the post in the s9y control panel at the end of a Myspace post ..

MySpace posting finished.

But when I got to find it at Myspace it doesn't seem to be anywhere.

I'm not entirely sure I understand how to correctly use this plug in, is there any doco I could read so I can configure it correctly?

I don't think anyone has really gotten it to work. :[

Bummer, I hope I can find someone who has had some success with it.

With Myspace exploding over the past 12 months, hopefully one of the very clever programmers here will be able to get it going. I would think it would almost be a 'must have' plugin these days.

Hi!

I believe the problem is/was that MySpace has no API to post articles. We had a HTML.capturing thing in the plugin, but then myspace changed their HTML look and so the plugin worked no more.

Without an API, remote posting can't really be done.

Best regards,
Garvin

Thanks again Garvin.
