Don't see your platform listed?
LiveJournal clients are available for a variety of platforms. If no version is available for your computer, or you don't want to download anything, you can still use the Web update page.

Alternative Clients
Clients written for the Blogger and Atom APIs should be able to work with LiveJournal, provided you can change which server they post to.

For ScrapBook

In addition to uploading pictures from the Upload Pictures page, we offer the ability to upload pictures through a “client”, which is a program you can download for your computer. Right now there are only a few clients, but we're constantly working with developers to write new ones for us:

Command-line client

We're geeks at heart, so the first client we wrote for FotoBilder was a command-line Perl client that could upload entire directories of pictures at a time. This requires Perl and some common modules; unfortunately the required modules aren't included with Mac OS X.

iPhoto Plugins

fraserspeirs wrote a free, fully-functional iPhoto plugin that easily uploads images from iPhoto into Scrapbook.

Filmgold has written a tool that exports your images from iPhoto into your ScrapBook. The Filmgold client has some limitations though, and the full version isn't free.

Windows XP Publishing Wizard

We've written an integrated wizard in Windows XP that allows you to upload pictures directly from Explorer. We're still testing it, making sure that we get the bugs and kinks worked out -- if you want to try it out, please read the instructions and start uploading!

Web Photos Pro

Web Photos Pro is a cross-platform photo organizer that includes support for uploading pictures directly to your ScrapBook.

We'll update this page again as more clients become available for use.

Interested in writing a client?
We've created fb_clients to gather interest in writing clients for FotoBilder and to help developers out with client and protocol problems. If you're a developer looking to write your own FotoBilder client, please join and discuss!
