nonethefewerAll of my words are tied up doing documentation and collections research today, so I link instead to posts by folk who I agree with, on this DW "versus" LJ thing.

One thing you, the DW user, may not know about is the "lj user" tag implementation here:
1) It is now <user name="name">, although <lj user="name"> still totally works.
2) It can also be <user name="name" site="livejournal.com"> (or other LJ clone type place), which is awesome.
Mwaha.
Alas, this is not yet easily translated over when crossposting, which means when I use any of the above, I'll probably edit the LJ post to show the right information. I am picky cat, and so will do this.

I am not sure where I stand on moving here versus staying at LJ. I've been feeling discontented by LJ for some time now, partly due to personal fluctuating internet/LJ usage desires and partly due to LJ management. I do know that I am still posting here, when it would be just as easy for me to not bother. But I like it here. *pats ground*

As a random aside:
I hear people being annoyed by the invite codes thing. To which I say: what? That is the primary thing I missed about Livejournal, are you kidding? A way to cut down on spam, socks, and bots? A method for managing user influx? Gosh, yeah, we can't have that! *thpft*
Anyways, yes, hello.
