noodling...

I was lucky enough to get an invite code to the closed beta of Dreamwidth, so I've been noodling about over there. See this post for why I'm considering moving, or at least cross-posting between there and LJ.

Because it's still in beta, Dreamwidth's style selector is not up and running yet (or rather, it is, but there are only two styles to choose from, neither of which is very pleasing to my eyes) but here is a very handy guide to modifying an LJ style to work on a Dreamwidth journal and I made mine pretty!

The import function seems to work like a charm -- entries, tags and comments all ported over. When I got my Dreamwidth journal, the cross-posting function wasn't working yet, but it's appeared in the last few days, so I'm basically posting this to test it and see what happens. (Edit: It worked! And so does editing!)

One more link (basically here for my own reference): useful post on how to follow a person who has moved their journaling to Dreamwidth without actually getting an account there.
