LiveJournal does it again

2014-05-16T01:09:14Z

For anyone who finds that they have switched/been switched to the new LJ format, and wants to change back, fengi has a post showing how to make the switch: http://fengi.livejournal.com/1504674.html

I have a pretty good imagination, but I cannot imagine Dreamwidth ever instituting such a major change without any word of warning beforehand or any explanation afterwards.

Well, well, well

Dreamwidth picked up 9,350 new users yesterday. Wonder what caused that? *muses*

Oh, and I've turned off commenting on all my crossposts to LJ.

Wonder if there's any connection.

*muses*

I have seven invitation codes if anyone would like to set themselves up with a free DW account. You can comment anonymously or with OpenID on DW, or PM me on LJ if you are interested!

Not leaving LJ, still going to be crossposting 99.9% of the time. Hopefully this will not need to be changed, but I am wary, people.

I'm experimenting here with crossposting

2009-07-16T23:48:54Z

At some point soon, when my paid account on LJ expires, I will more than likely be disabling comments here on LJ and directing replies over to Dreamwidth. Why? Icons, baby! *g*

Also it will be nice to have all my comments in one place, and nice for all of you to be able to follow all of the conversations (if that kind of thing turns you on.)

So I'm testing here. If I've done this right, comments are disabled on this LJ post and there's a link to the DW entry.

I would like you to come over and comment: use your OpenID account, your Dreamwidth account, or comment anonymously (and include your lj username). I want to find out if you will have any problems when I make the switch, and if I can help you with them (for example with an invite code to create a free account, or advice on setting up your OpenID over there.)

I'm (at least preliminarily) screening the comments over there, so that you can come over and speak your mind or ask silly questions without having everybody else in on our conversation.

I'll always still be reading and commenting on LJ. Too much good stuff and too many good people here. :-)

Crossposting and de-friending

2009-05-14T00:42:44Z

I've already done a little de-friending on LJ in order to stop reading the same posts twice. De-friending is the simplest way for me to handle it since there aren't any historic and valuable f-locked posts on my LJ to which I'd be blocking access.

But instead of doing it piecemeal I figured it was time for me to get the skinny from the people in the know: YOU.

If you're crossposting from DW to LJ on a consistent basis, lemme know in comments and I'll defriend you over on LJ. You don't have to be directing comments to DW - if I want to find your LJ post to check the comments over there I can do that easily enough.

I'm personally pretty inconsistent at this point! I'll find a rhythm eventually. *g* But, for example, I see no need to crosspost this entry. *shrugs*

How's life? How's DW working out for you? :-)

Invitation codes question

2009-05-01T14:42:18Z

I think I know the answer, but I want to make sure before I post about invite codes on LJ again.

These codes, (NOW, as opposed to two days ago) should only be given to people who want to set up FREE accounts.

ANYONE can purchase a paid account - no code needed.

Yes?
