Vox Crossposter recognition

May 3rd, 2007 · Comments · Blogging, PHP, Web Development, WordPress Plugin

First and foremost, I want to thank David Chartier for the write-up he completed for the DownloadSquad regarding my Wordpress plugin, the Vox Crossposter. I didn’t think the plugin was that big of a deal until users started to email me, asking me for help installing the plugin. I received a lot of positive feedback as well some suggestions for enhancements.

I have implemented a few of the suggestions and will continue to do so if I feel that the request actually enhances the plugin or if I get many requests for the same feature.

I was first contacted by David back in Jan 2007. I was very excited (and very surprised) to know that the plugin I wrote got someone’s attention who would be able to spread the word more than I have been able to. After a while, I forgot about the proposed write-up because after all, everybody gets busy! So fast forward to tonight when I just happened to check my email and what do I see? A wonderful message from Google Alerts (yes, I receive alerts regarding my own blog and yes, I do subscribe to it via Google Reader) :

As far as future development of the plugin, I am waiting on Six Apart to create an API for Vox like they have for LiveJournal or MoveableType.

Anyway, read about the development of and the pride I have in my plugin in my WordPress Plugin category. Thanks again David for the great write-up and the recognition.

  • According to the head of QA for Vox, Vox has fully implemented the ATOM API for posting. In fact, when posts are mailed to Vox, they are handed off to this API, which then does the posting.

    So, it seems that you are waiting for something that is already there.
