Dreamwidth?

[pasithea]

So... How is dreamwidth? It looks like it has the one feature that's kept me from going to other journaling systems (IE a way to do some legacy updating to my LJ and not require a lot of hassle for people wishing to comment.

Mostly just curious although I have so little traffic on my LJ these days that I don't think moving would be a big issue.

As a host DreamWidth is most excellent. It has no adverts whatsoever, you get a good number of user icons and the admins are both open and informative. As it is still very new there is not the wide variety of bloggers as there are here, most of those that have migrated there from LJ seem to be interested in fan-fiction. Go here for a sampling: http://www.dreamwidth.org/latest.bml It still takes invite codes to get a slot, but they are very easy to acquire: http://dw-codesharing.dreamwidth.org/ (or you could ask me, I have some codes rotting away in an email somewhere, they're probably still good). As for migrating your LJ there, it seems that it is now possible to migrate the whole shebang, including comments. See: http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse?faqid=127 It is also easy to crosspost to LJ from DreamWidth. What DreamWidth doesn't have is storage to archive your pictures. Since Flickr is free and reliable (and doesn't stop displaying my pictures when the money runs out) this is not a problem for me.

Yeah. I haven't used LJ pictures at all.

I used to have a paid LJ account but let it lapse because of their arbitrary censorship a few years ago.

If you have a spare code, I wouldn't mind checking it out.

Booting up old Dell to fetch code from email, BRB.
