I missed something for the opposite direction: "I post regularly to LJ, and my DW is 99% crossposts from LJ".

I use Semagic, which can post to multiple journals at once, to do this. But the primary "target" was LiveJournal.

This may change; I have a new computer, and when I reinstalled Semagic, decided to use DW as the primary target and have DW auto-crosspost to LJ -- mostly because when I edited entries, I'd go to Semagic > Edit Last Entry, and it would only change the LJ entry, whereas editing a DW entry that's auto-crossposted would edit the LJ entry, too.

But so far, my "home base" is still mostly LiveJournal, and it's where I get the vast majority of comments from, so the DW was a cross-posting recipient for the benefits of those who've moved over mostly.

This may by changing slowly, but yeah.
