Crossposting to another wordpress.com blog
-
Hi- I’ve recently created two blogs. One has only me as the author and the other has 4 people from my company. I’d like to originate posts in my first blog where only I am the author but have them crosspost automatically to the second blog as well. Is this possible?

I believe you can do it in BlogDesk (an offline editor – Windows only). I don’t think there’s a way to do it through the web interface here.

Thanks katm- Anyone know of a Mac application that will do this? Or anyone able to confirm what katm said about not being able to do it through the web interface?

It definitely can’t be done through the web interface. Also, cross-posting isn’t typical functionality provided by most editors. It’s almost like spamming. In fact, if you are planning to post everything from your solo blog to the communal one, you may run into conflicts with the rules.

abbydonkrafts- thanks for the info. I definitely don’t want to be seen as a spammer or against the rules. I’m guessing (very new to this) that doing what I’m trying to do would basically cause problems with stats and such? Make it seem like I’ve got double of everything which would have the potential to skew rankings?
The point of doing this is that we have this communal blog right now that will eventually split out into individual blogs. I’ve just discovered the “export” feature, however, and that looks like it will enable us to split out our posts when we do start using the individual blogs.
Thanks everyone!

It wouldn’t cause problems with stats and stuff, but it’s more of search results and tags. You’d be “spamming” search engines. They could potentially delist the blog from the results. This includes Google and regular search engines, as well as blog engines such as Technorati. WordPress probably wouldn’t like it because of duplicate entries in their tag results. That’s why I think it would probably be a conflict. Only the staff could tell you for certain.
I think the communal with export later would be the way to go. I’m glad you were able to figure it out. :-)
And.. You’re welcome!
