Admin Notice: Comments are disabled on LJ from now on.

You can, of course, comment on Dreamwidth using your LJ account via OpenID. It's a pretty easy process. There will be links at the bottom of every post, and all that good stuff!

I also have Dreamwidth invite codes, if you want them. I'm leaving comments open on this post - let me know if you want a code. There are also plenty available on the Dreamwidth Codesharing community. Just be sure to be polite and leave a comment if you take one.

I'm not going to go back and disable comments on my older posts, because most of them don't have links to the corresponding Dreamwidth entries. I've got over a thousand posts, and I don't really want to go through and manually fix that. It's something that's going to have to wait until someone's written a script that'll do it for me - 1000-some posts is too many to do by hand. (Eventually, what I plan to do is remove all content on the LJ and replace it with links to the Dreamwidth posts. But, again - not doing it until there's a script.)

This isn't something I decided to do entirely because of the Facebook business, though that did push the timetable up - it's been on the to-do list for a while. Last month I started editing and removing older locked entries that I felt contained more personal information than I wanted on LJ's servers. I'd planned to finish working through that (it's a slow process) before instituting the comments thing.

I just hope dreamwidth makes it. On one of the past LJ fiascoes, I moved ALL my mature content fic onto one of the LJ clones floating around at the time (Greatestjournal, it was.) Then GJ imploded without warning, so now most of my fic is nowhere. I'd hate to see that happen again.

It's not something about which I'm hugely worried - they've been pretty transparent about business matters so far, and I think there'll at least be some warning.

Nonetheless, I'm trying to be careful about backups. I lost a couple of sites when the host they were on went down in Olden Times, and have been paranoid ever since.

You've forced me to use my DW account! I should say curses, but really, it's not. I just enjoy commenting on your entries.

I'm sorry! (You could also just use your LiveJournal OpenID, if you wanted - you can even set it up so it has a Friends/Reading list and your Elizabeth icon.)

I think this thing is still on, actually.

Just on this entry! It is the last one, like the Last Unicorn.

I believe that you actually need a paid or plus account for that to work. Basic free accounts don't let you use stylesheets on your comments pages.
