SMTP Cross Posting

Abstract

Have you ever wondered how can you trigger your msn/live messenger contact card automatically each time you update your blog so that people on your list will be notified of the update by that small flashing star?
Or simply have you ever wanted, for any reason, cross post between two of your blogs?
If the answer to any of the above is yes, then you might be interrested in this plugin.

Introduction

SMTP Cross Posting is my first wordpress plugin ever1 and is designed to allow cross-posting between your wordpress blog and any other blog that supports blogging by SMTP.

Features

1) The post in your sync blog will have the same title as your wordpress post, but the body will be the permanent link of your wordpress blog
2) SMTP Cross Posting will send to your sync blog upon publishing your post for the first time only. All edits to a post are silents!
