Quick guide for How To Import/Crosspost & more
To Import:
Go to Organize -> Import Content
https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/importer
Click 'Start Another Import' and follow the instructions. Literally as easy as clicking a button.
Might take a while, as everyone is importing at the moment. If you click on 'refresh' it'll update you on how it's going. Entries & comments are usually the ones that take the longest.
How to crosspost & add a [personalised] footer:
Organise -> Manage Account -> Other sites (tab)
This will take you to this page:
http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/settings/?cat=othersites
Add New Account
You can disable comments on crossposts, so all comments have to be made on DW.
And just below you can add a footer, including personalizing the message. ☺
If you leave it blank it'll display the default message.
Make sure to use the dropdown to choose when you want the footer.
And press Save!
How to merge your open ID with your LJ:
Organise -> Manage Account -> History
Click on ‘Claim OpenID Account’
Put in your LJ name and they’ll merge all your Open ID comments & match up icons etc. V. handy. (Also irreversible.)
Handy tip re. icons
If you name your DW icons the same as your LJ ones, they will match when you crosspost!
ETA: Friending. DW splits this up:
Subscribe -> you add that journal to your flist
Grant Access -> they can see your flocked entries
