I now have a dreamwidth account. I haven't explored it yet, but it's there. It is ONLY there as a backup to my beloved Livejournal. I've said it a'fore and I'll say it again--I'm here until there is no fat lady left singing.
If you are on dreamwidth, I'm bogwitch64 over there too.
Now, for something REALLY amazing, I give you THE BEST NEW YEARS DAY EVER!
I'm only here courtesy of a jury rig via LJ basic but it's still pretty hopeless and with a bright white page (they don't allow 'same as' on basic which DW do) which I can't hack for more than ten minutes :o(
If you want DW to mirror your LJ posts, there are instructions for setting up Semagic (an LJ posting tool) to automatically crosspost to DW here. I've used it ever since I got set up over on DW.
Thank you, thank you! I've been noodling around over there. I figured out how to import my LJ, but didn't find the crossposting thing. I shall noodle a bit more from your link. Woohoo!
At the bottom of the DW post page you'll find two little boxes on the left
'Crosspost this entry'
and
'bogwitch64@livejournal'
When you want a post to x post to LJ just tick they two wee boxes and hit post and c'est tout.
At the moment the x postings aren't always succeeding first time due to LJ's problems, but DW sends a message to your inbox if the x post fails, so you know to try again.
I set up a Dreamwidth a while ago (probably the first time LJ had one of its serious bouts of down time). May have to noodle around more and actually add people over there.

Anyway, happy sparkly new year!
