Livejournal and Dreamwidth

[watervole]

 I'm seeing a large number of people shifting over to Dreamwidth as they don't like the new LJ terms of service.  Some are using it as their main journal and cross-posting, others are deleting their Livejournals and only using Dreamwidth.

If you're moving over, I would suggest importing your journal content to Dreamwidth  BEFORE abandoning it. (assuming you want to keep your old posts)

IF you look on the Dreamwidth 'profile' page, under the 'organise' tab, you'll find the 'import content'.  As long as you can remember your LJ password, you can import your Livejournal and comments in total. (there will probably be a delay as a lot of people are importing at present)

I'm 'watervole' on Dreamwidth as well.

Hadn't realised you were here. If you want to post on DW and cross-post to LJ,I'll read you here instead.

I only set up my account last night, LJ's move to Russian servers and a Russian-language ToC were the motivating factors. I've used the import tool to (hopefully) import my LJ posts here. settings and icons have appeared, but the posts may take a few days. I haven't yet decided what I'll do with my LJ account; I may just delete my posts and keep it as a sleeper account; not that it gets much use anyway, but who knows what changes may occur there (or here). I'll probably read your posts here as well.

I think there's still an Insanejournal account with my name on it, something elese to deal with.
