So...I'm now on LJ and Dreamwidth, which means all my posts should appear on both blogs simultaneously if all goes well.
My user name is ellen_datlow the same as on LJ.Anyone who would like an invite over here let me know -I have no idea how many invites I get.
The reason I've done this is:
Live Journal has been bought by a Russian company and the new owners have dismissed all about a few of the LJ tech employees. Many LJ owners are afraid that 1) the owners might pull the plug at any time and 2) it will change anyway and 3) the service will go downhill.
Dreamwidth has been started by former LJ employees. With it, anything you post can be seen on you lj blog so you don’t have to blog twice. All your posts from LJ can be automatically transferred to Dreamwidth…A lot of people (I gather) see it as a backup in case LJ goes south.
So that’s what the deal is IIRC--I may have a few details wrong, but I'm sure if I do someone will correct me.
