Shiny!

http://heather11483.dreamwidth.org/

It really is quite shiny. I can upload multiple icons at once and expand comment threads -- with a free account. There are NO ADS -- with a free account. I can import my entire LJ into DW with comments and tags and such, and crosspost to both journals at the same time without having to use Semagic or any other of those programs that I never could figure out. Among other things (here's a good post with some info). It's not really the LJ-clone I thought it was.

Anyway. I'm not leaving LJ because, well, all of you are here ♥ (and also, I don't want to). *g* But I'll probably crosspost or something. Mostly, I can't resist shiny toys and I want to be wherever fandom is; if any of you are moving, I don't want to lose you.

If any of you are there already, feel free to add me! I don't know who all's there; it's in closed beta still. Open beta starts on the 30th. Here is some info about the beta process, OpenID and the best way to get one now and once open beta starts. If I can get invite codes I will be passing them out to as many of you as I can, starting with people I've chatted to about it here or on Twitter or on YM or wherever we talked about it and then going from there, I reckon. No idea when I'll get them or how many I'll have but I expect I'll be able to get some at some point. I'll probably buy my account when I can, so that should help. Someone was awesome enough to get me a code so I want to pay it forward. Plus I want, um, actual friends over there, so. *g*

So Jealous! Heh. I love the import comments feature, I think that's one of the things that always put me off moving before.

I am so getting you a code as soon as I can. *g*

I don't want to move, but as an alternate journal, this is the best one I've seen. And quite a few people are moving, so I don't want to lose them, which is my main motivation for getting a DW.

*hugs you* Have I mentioned I love you lately. Oh right, yeah, when you offered to beta m HBB. Heh.

I wouldn't move at the moment - not entirely at least, but I guess if a lot of people went I'd be more tempted. Plus like you, as an alternate journal it's the best option I've seen. So many pretty features. Plus, I still have a paid account here at the moment and I don't think I can justify paying for two journals at once.

I'd be tempted to move my fic journal there, though. Hmm.
