![]() This is useful!Īnd again, if you’re already on Dreamwidth and I don’t have you in my circles there yet, let me know who you are!Įditing to add: Also changing my DW settings so that the footer for the DW version of a post should show up on LJ now. ![]() The reason this is useful is because if your LJ username shows up as an OpenID commenter on someone else’s imported posts, you can claim that ID as you, and that comment will then show as your Dreamwidth account instead. If you do want to commit to an account there, note also that you can claim any previous OpenIDs as you, as per Dreamwidth’s Help post here. I did not see the same level of drop-off in user anguish with the large migrations to GreatestJournal and InsaneJournal - indeed, if anything, there was just an additional element to some of the complaints. Hey anyone who may stumble across this Even though this comm has long since died off, Ive decided to import it over to dreamwidth in case livejournal ever. If you’re not sure if you want to commit to an account there, you can still use your LJ ID to leave comments on posts there! This is a tool for importing Dreamwidth journal XML backups into WordPress - import-dreamwidth/livejournal-importer. The launch of Dreamwidth has played a role in that drop-off in a way that no other alternate journal service has. If you’re an LJ friend, I encourage you to come on over to Dreamwidth. But I’ve had a foot out the door on LJ for years, and the new problematic TOS is pretty much the last straw. I’m sad about having to do this, but less sad than I would have been if LJ were still my only blogging platform. She has posts up about this here (on ) and here (on Dreamwidth).

Moving forward, over the next few days, I encourage you to leave any comments either on the DW version of a post, or come straight over to to leave comments there. February 6th, 2012 Hello all, and welcome to the official Big Fat Organisation Post for the move to Dreamwidth This gets long and rather list-happy, so it's been broken up into handy little sections. This works for some people and not for others. 2) If you have a Dreamwidth account, use the Dreamwidth importer. Until that time, since my posts originate on my WordPress site and are crossposted to Dreamwidth, and DW crossposts in turn to LJ, I have set my Dreamwidth settings to disable comments on crossposted content. This will allow you to download the text of your entries in a format that can be reuploaded later. This is likely to happen some time this weekend. ![]() Folks, as per my announcement earlier this week, I will be shutting down my LJ as soon as I am done with a thorough review of a content export from there to Dreamwidth. ![]()
