Joe Tan has released a number of WordPress plugins available on his site. At present I use a couple of them: the Google Analytics & Feedburner Report and the Flickr Photo Album plugins.
Update: Joe’s latest release has fixed this particular issue. It looks like users might be experiencing a similar problem with ver 0.5 but I am unable to reproduce the error. Keep an eye on Joe’s page for another fix.
It was while browsing these tools that I came across his Xanga Crosspost for Wordpress plugin. I had no idea what Xanga even was or what this plugin did but upon viewing Joe’s Xanga page it became immediately obvious to me how useful the plugin might be. If nothing else perhaps it could leave a crumb trail for increased traffic.
Trouble with Xanga
After downloading and installing the plugin (which was effortless I might add). I then opened the Plugin configuration page to link my Xanga account with my Wordpress installation.
However when I submitted my Xanga username and password I received an “Error: Invalid username or password”. After retyping this several times and then copying and pasting the same credentials I used on Xanga’s site directly it became obvious to me that the problem was not my username or password.
After checking back in at the plugin homepage I noticed 4 recent comments describing the same problem. Something must have changed on Xanga’s end of things. But according to his site, Joe’s out of town for the holidays… if I want this working today it looks like I’ll have to hack it.
