I've a question for you...
Didn't you work on a specialized bookmarklet for Movable Type that interfaces with an cgi that runs on geeklair?
I would like to hack together some kind of solution that I can host on my site which would allow for people to post by bookmarklet to both an LJ and a MT weblog at the same time, or failing that, at least have a bookmarklet for LJ out there, using the XML-RPC Client/Server Protocol. Haven't really looked into what would be necessary, but I would think that whatever has been done for MT could be helpful and relevant. Any help/advice/code/suggestions welcome...
I modified the standard MT bookmarklet to work with the Safari web browser (on Mac OS X).
I haven't looked too much at the XML-RPC stuff, but both lj and MT have client/server protocols (and there are various apps out there for posting to both/either).
It wouldn't be too much work to take one of the open source ones apart enough to create a cgi that would use that API to post to both MT and lj. Then it would be a simple matter to point a bookmarklet to it.
... but the question really is if it's worth it or not. I thought about doing this myself, but it was way less effort to just get someone with some syndication points to start a lj blog with my MT rss feed (modified to include full posts).
If you really want to do it (as a project to learn/play or whatever), I would start by looking at the client APIs for both MT and lj and perhaps look for existing opensource clients for inspiration.
