Hey! I'm trying out crossposting from Dreamwidth. Augh, learning curve! So yes, anyway, I'm one of the 9000+ people who created new DW accounts on Wednesday. I haven't worked out yet how I'll use the two journals--for right now I don't plan to disappear from LJ, but depending on what they do about the Facebook/Twitter thing I might have to

I think once I've had time to digest the differences between LJ and DW it will be easier to figure out the best way to set them up. Oof, LJ, why are you doing this to me?

At any rate, I know I won't be renewing my paid account when it expires. farewell, comment editability!

It's all really scary and upsetting and forcing me to make a lot of tough choices. Disable comments on LJ? Delete my FB profile and/or my fic journal? Not things I particularly want to do. Plus I still don't see the comms I'm most interested in making the move over to DW...I hope they will, but until they do I'll need to maintain at least a partial presence on LJ, I think.
DNW. Hate these LJ motheruckers ucking with my shi!

I've had a DW since the beginning, but haven't used it much. (I do have another account I've been using daily since May, for nature themed entries. For just posting purposes, it's been very easy to use.) Now I am motivated to import my entries from LJ, but because I have such an intricate set of filters over here, I need to duplicate those on DW before I can import my entries and not mess with the privacy I had set up before. I don't *think* it will be hard! Possibly time consuming though.
I've heard crossposting from DW is pretty smooth these days. Of course, you can't do it in the other direction.

Crossposting this entry was easy--the only thing that took a little thinking was working out what kind of footer to put on it. I like that if you edit a crossposted entry on DW it defaults to editing the crossposted version also--I correct typos all the time and I don't want to do it twice! It also converted my DW cut tags to lj-cuts without me having to do it, which I was concerned about since the DW FAQ doesn't say. So, so far so good!
