Things you should know about OPENID!

[digthewriter]

For all transitioning from LJ to DW. Temp or Perm or whatever. This is VERY IMPORTANT. I think.

Claiming your OpenID URL will update all your imported comments, in your journal or in other people's journals, so they're owned by the Dreamwidth account that claimed them: that way you can still manage your old content without having to authenticate

Thanks for this! I'm going to try it ASAP because there are several entries at my comm I want to edit and I had no idea how. <3

I think most people assume when you import something under your account your user credentials transfer over. It's good to get the word out so people can know.

It took me a while to figure it out. It was driving me crazy that I couldn't get a handle on my user id.
