If you love them, too, it may interest you to hear that Dreamwidth has just upped userpic limits: free users get 15, paid users 100, premium paid 250.
And, yep, I do have invite codes for creating free accounts (and that means ad-free, too). Let me know in comments if you're interested, or go here if you're interested in purchasing an account.
ETA a reminder that they're still in open beta over there, but if you haven't visited in a while you'll find that a good deal of the sawdust has settled and there are many more styles to choose from and active communities to join, etc. |

| I'm experimenting here with crossposting |
[Jul. 16th, 2009|06:29 pm] |
At some point soon, when my paid account on LJ expires, I will more than likely be disabling comments here on LJ and directing replies over to Dreamwidth. Why? Icons, baby! *g*
Also it will be nice to have all my comments in one place, and nice for all of you to be able to follow all of the conversations (if that kind of thing turns you on.)
So I'm testing here. If I've done this right, comments are disabled on this LJ post and there's a link to the DW entry.
I would like you to come over and comment: use your OpenID account, your Dreamwidth account, or comment anonymously (and include your lj username). I want to find out if you will have any problems when I make the switch, and if I can help you with them (for example with an invite code to create a free account, or advice on setting up your OpenID over there.)
I'm (at least preliminarily) screening the comments over there, so that you can come over and speak your mind or ask silly questions without having everybody else in on our conversation.
I'll always still be reading and commenting on LJ. Too much good stuff and too many good people here. :-)

| Dreamwidth invitation codes! |
[May. 1st, 2009|02:26 pm] |
And to avoid confusion, if you want to purchase a paid account, you do not need an invite code. Things changed as of yesterday when Dreamwidth moved from Closed Beta to Open Beta.
Here's the information about the different account types to help you decide what you want.
Here's where you can purchase an account.
And just let me know if you're interested in an invitation and I'll see what I can do for you!
ETA: three two one left All gone for now! How appropriate that the last one went to the very first person who ever sent me feedback on my very first fic. :-)

| I have two invitation codes for Dreamwidth now, two tomorrow |
[Apr. 30th, 2009|10:52 pm] |
Yes, I have FOUR invitation codes to hand out, and I'm going to make two of them available right now.
This code will allow you to set up a free Dreamwidth account.
If you don't get your hands on an invitation, you'll still be able to set up a one-month paid account for $US 3.00 and then let it lapse down to a basic account if you choose, so don't panic!
And of course anyone can purchase and maintain a paid account if you've got the money to burn. :-) Reply with your email address to make it simple for me! Or reply and then PM me your addy if you prefer.

Turns out I hadn't turned on all the light switches at my new Dreamwidth account, and OpenID users weren't able to comment on my initial post over there.
Have another shot at it! Comment right here if it doesn't work, and if you comment here, obviously it does work! :-D
Anonymous comments will be screened, but they should be enabled now, too.

I got myself an invite and I've set up an account on Dreamwidth. My username there is Sid. That should be easy to remember, right? *g*
Here's my first journal entry: Getting comfy
No, I'm not disappearing. :-) Jack and Daniel and all their friends will continue to appear right here.
They're gradually bumping up the number of people who are participating in closed beta to see how the servers handle it. I might be receiving some invitations to hand out at some point. And when they go public on April 30th, if you don't have a foot in the door yet and are interested but unable/unwilling to invest, just $3 US will buy you one month of paid journal time, and then you can let your account lapse down to a basic account if you prefer.
I hope they're a smashing success!
(if you have questions I'll try to answer them! And if you'd like to set up an OpenID account over there, go here)
