Hello out there!

[codyne]

Looks like JournalFen is being swamped by the influx of new users; I haven't been able to get in at all for the last ten minutes or so. Oh well, maybe things will quiet down later.

So, here's what I've been up to. Using antennapedia's fabulous ljmigrate tool, I've backed up and reposted my entire LiveJournal to my JournalFen "codyne" account. There were a

Awwwww! Hello, Spot! *scritches his ears*

I need to make an icon of Timothy -- if I can get him to sit still long enough for me to take his picture!

Spot says hi!

I can never get a photo of Spot asleep, because he wakes up before I can get close enough with the camera and glares at me through half-closed eyes.

I haven't tried that tool yet. I can't decide if I want to move everything or not - I may just move bits. I did use LJarchive and archive the whole things, so at least it won't be lost.

I do intend to keep my LJ, I'm just not going to pay for it once it expires in March - unless things change drastically, which I don't see how they can. I'd really prefer to use my blog and embed it on my website, so I may go that route eventually and just link from my LJ and/or JF.

Yeah, having a backup is the main thing. But ljmigrate makes it just as easy to back up your journal and move it at the same time, so, since I had an empty journal already sitting there at JF, I figured I might as well!

My LJ is a permanent account, so there's no question of whether to continue paying for it or not. It's here as long as I don't get suspended or deleted, so I figure I might as well keep it.

I agree about using a blog -- now that I've got mine set up on my own domain, I post there more than anywhere else. I'm not sure anyone's reading it, though!

[lilithlotr]

I need to start doing that. I guess I should re-up with Blogroll and keep a blogroll again!

[codyne]

I've friended you on both GJ and IJ. It never hurts to have a few alternates in place. I agree, the LJ trainwreck seems to be getting worse instead of better. I've no idea how it will all shake out, but I'm covering my bases in case of the worst.

It's SPOT!!

I haven't migrated my LJ yet, though I, too, will likely keep LJ (though as a free, not paid account - is it possible to downgrade?? expires in Dec.). But I really only want to move/copy it once... and I don't yet know if it's to GJ or IJ. Plus I see all this buzz about fendom creating its own service... eh, anyway, I'll keep up with what everyone is doing and watch... *hugs*

OMG are those photo albums? How ORGANIZED!

[codyne]

Spot says hi!

I don't think you can downgrade your account once it's paid for. There wouldn't be any point, really, since they don't give refunds. I know what you mean about moving -- It's still a toss-up where most people will end up, although I'll no doubt keep friendslists on all my different journals.

And, yeah, those are my photo albums. Labeled and dated and everything. Now that I use digital cameras, though, I'm less organized, but I try to keep my photos in relevant folders so they'll be easy to find.

I love orange kitties!

[codyne]

Me, too! I'm so glad Spot chose me to live with, he's been such a good companion. (He really did choose me -- he was hanging around the place when I moved in, and made up his mind that he was going to live here, too.)
