Live on (yet) another social site

Yes, it’s true, I finally broke down and signed up on MySpace. Truth be told, I have had a rather private account on there for a while now, but never set up anything in the profile – mainly to allow me to visit band sites of some of my favorite Nerdcore artists. Since my wife has been using it for a while, as well as several friends from Washington state I thought I’d go ahead and dive in as well. So you can find me there too, at www.myspace.com/evardsson.

I also set up a site for 2DL at www.myspace.com/2dlmusic (the 2dl url was taken)

Now I guess, I should think about doing something with my Facebook account. Ok – never mind, I did it, it’s here.

So, how does one keep up with all of these? Well, for one, I found a nifty thing to update my MySpace blog when I update this blog. Now if I can get the Feed Invasion app to work on Facebook it will show up there as well. Haven’t I done enough damage for one day?

There was a minor error in the pingmyspace.php – when it generates the link to the individual post it doesn’t include the /YYYY/MM/DD/ portion of the url. So I made a couple minor changes:

At about line 54 you will find this:

//FETCH THAT ROW

$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);



$title=$row[5];

$content=$row[4];

$postUrl=$blogUrl.$row[12];

I changed it to this:

//FETCH THAT ROW

$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);



$title=$row[5];

$content=$row[4];



//ADD THE DATE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL POST URL

$today=date('Y/m/d/');

$postUrl=$blogUrl.$today.$row[12];

Another followup – had I read further in Roderick Russell’s original post with this tool, I would have seen that there were new versions further down the page. The pingmyspace_v1_4a.php actually fixed this problem. Doh!

Good post. If only I could get that damn plugin working now.

Just wanted to give you a heads-up. The newest version of the MySpace Crossposter is now available, and the changes are many.

Everything is contained in one file. Activation from the Plugin Options screen is enabled. No need to edit any source files. All configuration is done through the WordPress Options screen. And best of all, once you “activate” and configure the plugin, it runs itself. You press “publish”, it crossposts. Simple as that.

The older versions are still available, but the new version can be found at: http://noumenon.roderickrussell.com/myspace-crossposter-v2-released

Cheers!
