How to Move to Dreamwidth and Like It
Hello all,
When LJ moved their servers to Russia, I wrote a post called How to Move to Dreamwidth and Like It with my accumulated advice and resources on making the switch and a heavy dollop of pep-talk and getting in the right frame of mind. Now with the Terms of Service debacle, it occurred to me that I should share it a little more widely than my circle.
When I wrote the post, I was operating under the assumption that most people would and should move in small stages, so the post is structured to support that. Now, I will admit that my basic advice has shifted to 'abandon ship as soon as possible,' but hopefully people still find it useful : )
As I imagine most of the people who really need this are not (yet) part of this comm, please feel free to share with anyone who you think could benefit.

Apparently it's too much work to go to another site to keep up with people.
I just got asked how to syndicate DW journals as RSS feeds to read on LJ. And, yeah, you can do it, but . . . just make yourself a reading list. You'll make your life much easier. Just bookmark them next to each other and read the one and then the other. Not difficult; did it for years.
Though, amusingly, I suddenly find myself with the inverse problem. Having deleted my LJ leaves me with a single reading list and I don't quite know what to do with myself. Only . . . read . . . one . . . pAgE? But . . . how does that . . . work?!?? O_o

I know right? I'm not worth the time it takes to just do a couple extra clicks?

Oh, now that is interesting! Ha!
