Here's Why

ljcrosspost

I've tried a plugin called ljcrosspost, so that I could automagically cross-post from this blog to LiveJournal, which would make it easier for many of my friends to read new posts. However, the iiNet web host refuses to make the connection to livejournal.com, and so the whole thing fails, and also fails to post on this blog. Pathetic really. iiNet's web-host's refusal to talk to other computers also meant that when I use MT-Blacklist to clear away spam, I can't report the spammer to the clentral clearinghouse. No communication with the outside world is just wrong. I need a new webhost! I went to try for a new domain name, they're giving them away from at dotTK.tk.
