As this content management system is built totaly by me, there was no nice way to get any feeds from Livejournal, where I have a blog, to here or vice-versa. I decided that I could write a php script that read the code in the rss feed from my livejournal, compare the data in the interprated rss feed to what is already present in my blog here, and if not curently there, to add. In future, I may work out how I can connect to my LJ as a server process as part of posting on here, but presently this is the script code:
include('.htconfig.php');
##      connection url for input feed
$rssURL =  "http://www.livejournal.com/users/cobalt_fish/data/rss";
##      get the data
$rssContents= file_get_contents($rssURL);
#echo $rssContents;
##      Get the item contents
$entries = explode("<item>", $rssContents);

echo $entries[1]."<br><br>";
##      and the description there off
$i=1;
while ($i<count($entries))
{
##      Title
$start = strpos($entries[$i],"<title>") + 07;
$stop = strpos($entries[$i],"</title>") - $start;
$entry_title= substr($entries[$i], $start, $stop);


##      get entry data
$start = strpos($entries[$i],"<description>") + 13;
$stop = strpos($entries[$i],"</description>") - $start;
$entry_data= substr($entries[$i], $start, $stop);

##      publish date
$start = strpos($entries[$i],"<pubDate>") + 9;
$stop = strpos($entries[$i],"</pubDate>") - $start;
$date= substr($entries[$i], $start, $stop);
echo $entry_data;
$i++;

echo "<p>input date is $entry_date outupt is ".date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime($date))."</p>";
$entry_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime($date));
##      search blog for entries like just recieved
$result = mysql_query("select * from ljblog where entrydate = \"$entry_date\"")
or die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());
if (mysql_num_rows($result)<1)
{
$update = mysql_query("INSERT INTO blog(entrydate,entrytitle,entry_data,user) values('".($entry_date)."', \"$entry_title\", '<p class=\"blog\">".html_entity_decode(addslashes($entry_data),ENT_QUOTES)."</p>', 'cobaltfish')")
or die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());
$idresult = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM blog ORDER BY id desc LIMIT 1");
$id = mysql_fetch_row($idresult);

$update = mysql_query("INSERT INTO ljblog(entrydate,entrytitle,entry_data,id) values('".($entry_date)."', \"$entry_title\", '".html_entity_decode(addslashes($entry_data),ENT_QUOTES)."', ".$id[0].")")
or die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());
}

}
