Cool.

Is there anything else about Dreamwidth in particular you'd be interested in?

[treesahquiche]

Not really; I'm very interested in how other people are handling the whole LJ to DW switch, since I gather that many people here are still mostly operating out of their LJ accounts, unless they're programmers or developers. I've moved over to DW, but I still keep my LJ account "just in case."

To find out about that, though, I just have to get around DW more and read more journals; it's nothing that you need to cater to specifically. Thank you for asking, though.

Yeah, you're right, most are not switching, I think. They're mostly, I get the impression, crossposting or just keeping an empty DW account.

I think it's mostly because for a lot of people, LJ usage centers around communities, and since there haven't been many blockbuster DW comms a la ONTD or customers_suck, there isn't that kind of infrastructure being created yet.
