Dreamwidth

[laligin]

I received an invite this morning - but from a rather unexpected source. (: So thank you smallwaldo. 'Tis very kind. ^_^

So yes, Laligin over on Dreamwidth is me, and as soon as I've eaten lunch I'll come back, reply to comments here, and stalk you lot over there if you exist there. ;)

Plus, although I have no idea how the invite system works, I shall valiantly give it a try if anyone here wants/needs an account there. (:


(Edit: Mind you, Dreamwidth's... pinkness is vaguely offputting. For some reason I find the blues of LJ easier on the eyes and much clearer to deal with. And the identical grey navigation bar at the top just seems a bit cheeky. Hm. I get the feeling unless there is absolute and complete exodus, I'm very very much staying here. Keep adding me, though. (: )

What IS Dreamwidth? I still don't get it.

*confused*

[laligin.livejournal.com]

Livejournal by another name, sort of. Like InsaneJournal and GreatestJournal. I've yet to work out if there's any difference that makes Dreamwidth (I refuse to refer to it as DW, for obvious reasons...) so special, but loads of people are getting one and I just wanted to reserve my name in case there is ever a grand exodus. I doubt it, though.

http://www.dreamwidth.org/ <-- That's the homepage
http://laligin.dreamwidth.org/profile <-- And that's my profile. Basically the same as LJ. Except you need invites for it, which always has people jumping on board quick in case the invites run out, I think. (:

Okays, I get it now. :-D

[laligin.livejournal.com]

*throws a salute* Then my work here is done. ;) Happy to help.

[phantomreviewer.livejournal.com]

:-D

I'm always doing that in RL, throwing people salutes to say goodbye, or well done. I'm weird like that. :-D

[laligin.livejournal.com]

XD Me too. Sometimes I even go the whole hog and snap to attention. It makes people laugh. *hugs* Yay for shared weirdness! :P

I get called Ma'am and Sir by a friend, drives me crazy at times.

[dr-is-in.livejournal.com]

I asked her to send you one when she said she had some because I didn't know when I was going to get more (I have 4 of them right now though, so if you know someone who needs one...)

[laligin.livejournal.com]

I did wonder. ^_^ Thank you kindly. At the moment I think it's all fine... (: But thank you for the offer also. ;)

[laligin.livejournal.com]

XD I bet. Although that's kind of made of win and you beat me by far there. ;)

[phantomreviewer.livejournal.com]

Kind of yes. But when I'm being serious it drives me mad.

I got an invite, too, and opened an account over there. But just like with Greatest journal or Insane journal, I don't think that DreaWi (calling it DW is confusing if one is a Doctor Who fan) will become bigger than LJ. But who knows. I have my name safe over there, and I used it as a backup for all my LJ entries. I won't post there, I think, at least not in a long while. I paid for LJ and will stay here. Now I only need to figure out if I can crosspost somehow, because I want my upcoming entries to show up on DreaWi too (the backup thing).

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

Hi, found you there... (and I somehow managed to change to a violet colour, slightly better than the pink)

but yeah, I think I'll stay on LJ as well

[laligin.livejournal.com]

Likewise. I found out how to crosspost from Dreamwidth to LJ, but the reverse is not true. Hm. I may just update here for a bit then re-import.

[laligin.livejournal.com]

Hallo. Has added you back etc. I've been poking around at changing my own journal style but can't really be bothered right now, and it's mostly the default homepage stuff that I loathe.

LJ is prettier and more convenient, and it says something in the FAQ about not being able to import communities, so I'm thinking that alone could bring the exodus to a grinding halt before it's taken more than a step...

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

Hello, and yeah, so far I prefer LJ, but got caught up in worry that I won't get my name over there... (I've also got an unused myspace and insanejournal for the same reason - sad me)

didn't know that about communities, but agree that could / would be a problem, people would have to run two parallel.

[invaderwitch.livejournal.com]

I'm jayne (http://jayne.dreamwidth.org/) over there. *adds you* :)

[arlessiar.livejournal.com]

I planned on doing that, too. But my guess is that you cannot choose which posts you want to import, that you'd have to import everything, the new stuff and that what's already there, again, and that would screw up all my locked-or-not-locked settings again. Ah well, better than no backup at all I guess. :)

[arlessiar.livejournal.com]

Facebook, myspace, flickr, Insanejournal, greatest journal... I have accounts on quite a few of these websites, just to 'save my nickname'. Accounts I never use or even forgot about again. Weird world. :D

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

i changed the pinkness to red - i likes red
same name over there :D add me if you want, but definitely staying on lj, just using DW as backup
i don't think i've gotten any invites to give out yet (i actually don't know how that works)

[twinklestah.livejournal.com]

i don't get this Dreamwidth thing, but everybody seems to be jumping on board.
as you said in a comment, i might also have to reserve my name. ;)
xo

[dthetadt.livejournal.com]

Hmm, everyone seems to be migrating over there and *I*'ve hardly managed to make it over here!

*sighhh*

Fashionably late as always, that's me ^__^

Still, you're staying back here with me, right?

...right? Hello? Somebody? *meep*

[laligin.livejournal.com]

(:

I'm staying, don't worry. Been here almost five years, don't feel like abandoning the place yet. ;)

*glomp*
