meridian_roseThis entry: http://a-ra-shi.livejournal.com/3018526.html talks about journals that are being summarily deleted for linking to sites outside LJ.
If true, and if this becomes more widespread, it could theoretically include linking to AO3 or Dreamwidth?! Links to Youtube? What about images hosted elsewhere? LJ is being silent about this but some comm owners are now backing up to DW in case of deletion.
As always I urge you to do the same. DW is an LJ clone so works exactly like LJ used to a few years ago - you can even make your journals look similar and read your f-list in exactly the same way, post exactly as you would to LJ (LJ specific html works at DW), comment in the same way, but unlike current LJ, DW's management team is approachable and upfront about any issues that occur.

that gives you instructions. if you have any problems/queries, I'll try to help out :)
the queue should not be too long now but when a lot of imports are running it can take a short time to copy your entries across.
