My apocalypse dreams never warned me about any of this...

[matt1993]

Okay, it's become ABUNDANTLY clear that EVERY community I've ever posted in on LJ is probably going to be gone by the end of the month, so this is definitely the best time (unless I can go back in time and do this several years ago...) for me to finally start creating a backup account on DreamWidth.

I know - I have it set up :)

I'm feeling pretty stressed out because there's still a lot I need to do if I want to make my DreamWidth journal look presentable, make it match my LJ as closely as possible, and/or have all of my community entries also be in it just in case those communities disappear like autism did recently, let alone all three.

I JUST got done editing both my LJ and DW profiles to reflect the fact that I'm now also on DW (and updating links to my LJ entries so that they go to LJ entries on my LJ profile and DW entries on my DW profile, just in case), but I still have a lot to do.

My to-do list right now:

- make http://matt1993.dreamwidth.org/278009.html a sticky post like its LJ counterpart (http://matt1993.livejournal.com/282623.html) is

- make sure that my LJ entries imported correctly

- manually copy over my entries from communities and their comments

And that's just what wasn't already on my huge to-do list. I'm never going to finish anything I started, am I? :(

If you have enough free time to focus on just this project, you'll get it done! :)

[matt1993]

I probably won't have enough free time, though - that's over a thousand entries to edit to fix broken images / broken videos / links that go to the LJ versions of entries instead of DW versions / etc. and add tags to again, and then probably at least a hundred community entries to MANUALLY copy over along with their comments... :(

[glowing_dragon]

Yeah... I have a lot of free time, but even I would find that particular project daunting!

:(

Random question: On the bottom of my DreamWidth page, I see sections for "most popular tags" (which seem to be chosen entirely at random because, while some of my tags were copied over from LJ, none of them are currently used on the DW versions of any entries, so they all have 0 uses) and "active entries". What determines what tags or entries appear there?

[glowing_dragon]

I have no idea about that. Sorry!
