Back to the new home....

[lunadelcorvo]

So, plan on seeing me here a LOT more, and on LJ more or less not at all. I haven't been posting too much there lately, though I've been trying to do more of it (kinda). However, I read my f-list almost every day. Well, if LJ has their way with their latest insanity, that will be that. And in any case, LJ doesn't really deserve the attention - they have made it clear they don't care what their users want.

So, the move to DW is more or less final this time. Old habits and all, but I'll manage. I'll still crosspost for a while, but eventually, I will likely just f-lock that account, and leave a public notice directing anyone here. I hope to see all of my LJ friends here, too.

So what's up with all of you?

Waves!

I'm basing here from now on and x posting to LJ.

This has been the last straw!

No kidding. So far my layout on LJ has remained, but I have no doubt it's a matter of time. I have only managed to prevent my comment pages from going to the default because my layout code is something like 6 years old.... I am sure that will change, soon, too!

P.S. So happy to have you here! I have been truly reprehensible on commenting (or posting, truth to tell) but I've become quite fond of you poetry and composer posts.... :D

I don't usually post here, even though I have an account. A lot of my lj friends and communities are simply not here. So that's one reason. In some ways I wish LJ was more like DW but they have even less people. Plus I have a paid account at lj. And not here. And I loath facebook. I wish it never existed. So I have to tolerate lj's controlling and incompetent Russian owners. I resent it, because despite the numbers of Russians on lj, most of the users are still American. And I hate the poor security. Although it has gotten better.

We've just been through Sandy. Several days of I'll never forget. We had a ton of rain and wind. But I didn't lose power. My school (UMBC) has been closed two days, but I think I'll be back at work tomorrow.

Welcome back!

I don't see myself switching, as I'm only here now because of my friends and certain communities. I don't need more social media distractions to feel guilty about neglecting :p

"I haven't been posting too much there lately, though I've been trying to do more of it (kinda). However, I read my f-list almost every day."

Yep, that's pretty much me in a nutshell with school. Excellent problem though.

What is LJ trying to pull?

[cmcmck.livejournal.com]

Same as- This recent stupidity has been the last straw and I've forgiven LJ a lot over the years as I like the people who post here. I've moved my postings to DW and will x post to here from now on.

We're already friended over there I think?

People who are upset may well wish to go and make their displeasure abundantly clear here:

Forgive me for being a little late to the conflagration, but could you point me in the direction of a good way to backup my entries so I can start preparations to find a new journalhome?

If you already have a Dreamwidth account go to 'Organise' on the home page headings and 'import content' on the drop down.

The rest is, as they say, a piece of cake.

If you don't have a DW account, it's easy enough to set one up here:

Backups (like to your computer) will vary wildly depending on your OS and browser. As a statistical outlier (running Chrome on OX 10.6) I'm not sure I can give you any better info than a google search, especially since I haven't tried to do this in a few years. There may be far better options out there than anything I've tried.

If you simply want to move to another site, DreamWidth offers full, free import of everything - entries, comments, even icons if you have enough slots on your DW account. It will also inport security levels, friend groups, and will add your LJ friends as openID accounts. It's really simple, it really works. It's really awesome, all in all.

Hope that helps!

[fiery-lioness.livejournal.com]

Yes, actually, you both have helped lots. *hugs* I'm just sick to death of the willy-nilly-insanity.

And done. I'm over there now... and hopefully working through the importing.

Going out with friends for dinner tonight. Been working almost 7 days a week at what was supposed to be a part time job. Family drama has died down. Ask me later over chocolate and I'll spill the beans on that situation. As for everything else, Dragon's health is tolerably good for a guy on dialysis, mine is worse, had some suicides in the family/f-lists, helped out with some charities, still seeking full-time employ, still Pagan, miss seeing you, and will look you up on DW. **hugs**
