It's not exactly automated, but it is pretty cool. It also talks about geotagging photos with Garmin GPS data and Picasa. http://hikesandbikes.blogspot.com/2006/10/life-of-geolocated-blog-post.html Here is a link to a blog post I did about geotagging my blog posts.

Plazes.com does this network recognition thing - I would be happy to know of any other methods since plazes requires an account etc. In any case the whole point of geoclue is that it combines the many possible backends into one simple system service on Linux that then is easy to use by any application. Like a friend of mine said, "I want to make the weather applet always show the weather for the place I am in".

The server must ignore all elements that it doesn't understand.

It doesn't currently handle posting locations through any of the API's. This is something we're going to add in the future. GeoClue looks neat. It doesn't mention any geolocation techniques such as by-ip, wifi, or other. And just let me know if you have any other requests or ideas!

It already has a "current location" field, but that's not exported to RSS. What would be a good start is to lobby LiveJournal to add them.
