Well hey there-

[winneganfake]

So, given the loads of people dropping like flies off of my friendslist on LJ and coming over to DW, I've decided to go ahead and fully invest myself here.

Much as I'd like to just drop-kick LJ completely, I can't, as I've still got a good number of readers over there that I wouldn't want to do without. It sucks, but well, there you have it.

So, who am I?

I'm an artist- I work primarily in leather, doing masks and other accessory bits, but I also do digital artwork. hell, while we're at it, here- have a couple of samples:

   

Anyways, more importantly by far is what I'm looking for- namely help finding some things, not to mention potentially some new friends.

Like for starters, a good way to solve my problem- is there some decent way to get both Dreamwidth and LJ combined into a single reading page? Including locked/filtered entries I'd normally have access to on each individual page?

Also, I'm used to using Semagic for posting- any good similar client out there for DW?

Not yet (not with locked/filtered entries), but apparently it's in the works.

If you can find an RSS or Atom reader you like that supports auth digest, yes, actually! Like this one:

Loving that mask! It's got an interesting feel to it... almost Henson-like, if you don't mind the comparison

I don't bother with a posting client, since we can crosspost to other journals such as LJ directly from the DW posting interface.

You can add LJ journals to your reading list as a feed, but it won't pick up locked posts. They'd like to pick up locked posts as well for those who have access to them, but not until they find a non-evil/non-privacy-borking way to do it.

You can use Semagic to post to DW too. Just make sure you select the correct server in File/server settings (this is in the login box).

The Dreamwidth Wiki also links to a tutorial on how to Crosspost to both LJ and DW. And I've just realized they explain how to set up a DW account on Semagic (with screencaps even!).

Welcome to DW. Your artwork is awesome! I'm subscribing to you.

What a lovely mask!

As was said above, you can post to DW with Semagic. I thought that it would crosspost automatically when you posted from Semagic to DW, if you have crossposting set to default? Is this not the case?

You should know that Dreamwidth has been working on a new posting interface all summer. I think they're getting close to going live with it - it looks pretty awesome.

Oh, wow, I love your artwork. If you'd ever like to let us use some of it for official DW layouts or anything, check out dreamscapes for layout designers who are looking for artwork -- in particular I know branchandroot often is looking for header artwork!
