In our last release, we launched the ability to do full
cross-posting to TypePad and/or LiveJournal. We've had cross-posting
functionality for a while now, but prior to this release we'd only send
an excerpt of the post to TP or LJ. The excerpts only include the first few lines of the post and all the images
and formatting are stripped out. For some people,
that's the exact behavior they want in their cross-posting
functionality. Some of us, on the other hand, wanted the option to completely
replicate our Vox posts to the other site, and that's where the full
cross-posting comes in.
If you enable full cross-posting, your entire post
will be cross-posted to your other blog, with all of the formatting,
pictures and assets intact. The media assets are clickable and linked
back to their originals on Vox, and everything should pretty much look
like it does on your Vox blog.
To enable this feature, you need to reconfigure your other blog - you can't just change the setting. Go to Account, and then click on Outside Services. If you already have another blog configured, then you should see a link under "Your other blog" to reconfigure. Put in your other blog's credentials, authorize, and then check the "Yes, send full post to this blog" box. Save, and you're done. From now on, when you choose to cross-post your Vox entries to your other blog, it will be the full versions instead of excerpts. If you ever decide to go back to excerpts, then just follow this procedure again and don't check the box.
Whichever option you choose will apply to all your posts, so you'll either always cross-post just an excerpt, or always cross-post the full post. Read "Cross-posting from Vox" for more tips and information.-- Steve
