Dreamwidth!

[foxmonkey]

I think I'm ready to import my LJ entries to Dreamwidth and start posting from there. 0_o <--(why does that look funnier when other people do it?) My paid LJ account runs out in January, so that's when I'll start a paid DW account. I'll keep cross-posting though, since I hardly know anyone on Dreamwidth.

It's a little scary; it's kind of like when I started my LJ and had no friends. :( There's new terminology to learn, blah blah blah...in short, I hope that this will be my only and LAST journal move! Dreamwidth, don't let me down! Once I move I'll be with you for the long haul. :-)

Everyone seems to be headed to Dreamwidth and I would like to head that way too, but I suffer from severe "know-it-all" syndrome and need to know everything about the new site before I take action. I don't know enough about the other platform to make the jump. The whole "open-ID" thing confuses me too. Is there a LJ/Dreamwidth comparison guide/FAQ/How-to anywhere for us ultra-anal-retentive types?

I never thought I'd leave LJ, but with every change the new owners made it was more and more obvious that they really had no idea what they'd bought.

Here's the link to the Dreamwidth FAQ page:

I seem to recall seeing a direct LJ/Dreamwidth comparison, but God only knows where! I'm thinking it should be linked somewhere in the FAQ.

I'm *just* starting to look around the site myself; there are a couple of communities for new members so they can ask questions, etc.

I hope you find all the info you need!

Thanks! I knew I'd seen this somewhere. I shall bookmark and pass along. :-D

In case you misplace the link, it's also under the FAQ category "Guides" aka http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse?faqcat=guides

A very kind Dreamwidth ninja directed me to the following:
