Still learning the lay of the land.....

[poltr1]

Last week, I requested that all my LiveJournal content be migrated to DreamWidth. It took a few days (as many people were doing the same), but everything has been copied.

I'm also trying to use the ljArchive program (found on SourceForge) to download a copy of my LJ content to my desktop. Somehow, it's failing. I think it has something to do with incorrect case (i.e. "DOCTYPE" vs. "doctype"), as the error message I'm getting refers to that.

So now, I'm trying to figure out DreamWidth. There are some changes, and some things that are the same. Seeing my friends list here is a little different; they call it "my circle". Has anyone written a tutorial yet?

I still spend the bulk of my social media time on Facebook. I'll use my DW blog here for longer entries. Even though FB seems to have relaxed their maximum-length limit, I don't want to use it for excessively long posts.

On LJ, people you designate "friends" can read your friends-locked posts and also show up on your reading page. On DW these two functions are separated. People you give access to can read your friends locked entries and people you subscribe to show up on you reading page. There are other differences (mostly that DW has minor features that LJ lacks, and DW has no ads) but for normal use, the access/subscribe is the one that matters.
