clavicularHI EVERYONE!
I was going to import all my entries from my lj account, but I've decided to start afresh here. This has more to do with organisation of my journal than content. While both just sort of... happened over on lj, I'm ok with this in regards to content. Organisation? Well... my philosophy (as of this moment) is that even if I can't be organsised in any other aspect of my life, I'm damn well going to have an easily navigated online blog.
I'm really liking the set-up of dreamwidth, though! It's like it's taken all the good bits of lj and then gone one better! Not sure about this subscribe/grant access thing, though. While I can see the long term advantage of it, at the moment it just seems like a pain in the neck trying to friend everyone. It's a whole extra button I have to click! And I'm so lazy. Also, I can see issues in terms of friending etiquette arising here. For example, is it better or worse to stop subscribing to someone than it is to de-friend them all together? I've only just gotten used to lj etiquette! What will I do? My life: so hard!!!
Not sure whether this will end up being a direct copy of my lj or whether it will be different (eg, if most of fandom ends up here but I still have rl friends on lj I might end up using this for fannish things and lj for rl things...) or whether I will lose interest in a month or so (I hope not!) but I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
