What happened to +`the promised world domination`_? + +On the related atompub and depression combination? I have a file with my +complete blog in Atom format. Now I would like to create a simple script +posting all entries there to Atompub store (let's say blogger, when I +use it already)? Of course the condition is that if I add new entries to +the Atom file and repost it again only new and updated entries will get +published. So, of course I would need the way how uniquely identify each +entry be it in the file or in the Atompub store (did I mention that I +would like to be able for whatever reason be able to publish the same +Atom file in different stores?). Of course, you cry, `that’s what +<entry:id> was created for`_! Every entry has its **globally unique** +ID, right? + +Except no Atompub store known to me allows you to publish entry with +your own ID. Actually you have to remove <id> element before publishing +to Livejournal, Wordpress, and Blogger otherwise they will reject this +perfectly valid Atom entry, and you have to publish something which is +not valid Atom (<id> element is MUST for Atom entry). + +So, lazyweb, do you know about any means how to publish my Atom file to +blogger without having a separate database of local:published ID +relations? If it would be possible to switch to another blogging +platform, I’ll switch immediately just because of this. + +While collecting links for this post, I have found this_.
