I appear to have discovered how to provide the right credentials to see about posting via flickr to δreamwidth. I referenced this documentation and found the XML-RPC URI (Wordpress) and Blogger APIs. From the Flickr "add a blog" page i selected "MetaWeblog API" and used the XML-RPC URI and kept getting a "The username and password you entered were not valid."

However, the Blogger API *did* work. It appears to post just fine to δreamwidth; cross-posting is not automatic.

I recall that i always had to go to the LJ edit pane to change my Flickr posts to "Friends only" in order to keep the link of public self to Flickr to LJ identity out of the crawler's eye. In making the change to "Access list" in δreamwidth, the cross-post to LJ immediately follows.

I'm not up to importing all my posts on LJ to δW, but it would be lovely to import all my tags, especially now that the tag edit box autocompletes.
