Technical Note on Dreamwidth Backups
Hey all,
Many of you are making or have made backups of your journals via Dreamwidth.org. I'd like to take a quick second to point out that besides having a good 'import content from LJ' feature (for anyone who didn't know about it yet), Dreamwidth also offers an option to link your LJ OpenID with your Dreamwidth account.
This lets DW know that any imported comments your LJ account made - including in journals that aren't yours - are yours, linking them back to your account and icons. Make sure you're logged in under the correct account on both LJ and DW, then input your LJ URL in the linked screen. In about an hour, you'll receive a confirmation email. Click that, and you'll get full control of all DW comments linked to that LJ.
This will also claim all comments in the Dreamwidth backups of all of our FH comm accounts, which were freshly updated today.
