Turns out I was using the wrong endpoint, doh! Thanks to Ben, this should hopefully crosspost successfully from MT4 and the CrossPoster plugin. He also forwarded me a copy of the Atom API docs, boy can docs be helpful. They helped me figure out why tags no longer got cross posted (though the XML::Atom docs leave much to be desired *hint hint*)
And yes, I realize I haven't updated this blog in months and many many things (incredibly exciting things) have happened in between. Hopefully I'll feel like blogging again soon!
UPDATE: Holy Cow, it worked!
This is an all out test of CrossPoster. It is simultaneously crossposting to both my Vox and Movalog's Sandbox blog i.e. two different blogs on two different weblogging engines. As this crossposting could take quite a while, it is launched via a background task.
This also has also been composed with Movable Type on my localhost machine with the Markdown text formatter which means this is italics this is bold

This is a tag test! Wish me luck!
80 days around the world, we'll find a pot of gold just sitting where the rainbow's ending. Time - we'll fight against the time, and we'll fly on the white wings of the wind. 80 days around the world, no we won't say a word before the ship is really back. Round, round, all around the world. Round, all around the world. Round, all around the world. Round, all around the world.
I hadn't expected that last entry to actually cross post on the first go... I had expected there to be some bugs... but there weren't which makes a first! It's a shame that Vox doesn't seem to be able to update entries via the Atom API.
This second cross posts is testing two things, (a) whether tags are properly transmitted to Vox and (b) whether CrossPoster::Cache works properly!
See you on the other side!
From Vox: It looks like I jinxed myself! Test #2 was only 50% successful, CrossPoster::Cache worked brilliantly but unfortunately tags weren't sent across. My neighbours, please forgive all these spam posts you will see crop up in VoxWatch and elsewhere. The pain, however, will be worth it :)
It is quite sad that the first post in over a month to my Vox is in fact a test for an ultra-cool new Cross-posting plugin for Movable Type!
