Two helpful reminders, the one because people were jazzed to find out about it in the comments of the last mod post, and the other because it's something I've seen people express minor concerns over.

1. Since what I imagine was the first rush of imports from us, over the Christmas holidays, Dreamwidth has slightly tweaked how they handle the importing of icons. Now, if you choose to (re?)import icons, DW will import all the icons attached to your LJ account. If the number of icons is higher than your DW account level allows, DW will simply mark some of them as inactive, the same as happens when paid time or icon packages expire on LJ. (example)
   
   


2. The layout-making community on Dreamwidth is still pretty small, and a lot of us (by which I mean me) are fairly attached to the ways we're used to browsing and reading LJ (by which I mean ARRRGH NO CHANGE IS THE WORST GET IT AWAY FROM ME). I expect this will pick up over time with the new influx of users, but! Until then, here is a handy-dandy tutorial for importing your LJ layout to Dreamwidth (currently works with Flexible Squares, Smooth Sailing, Mixit, and Nebula layouts).

What can I say, I am finicky about my pretties.

Thanks for that announcement -- now I have finally imported my content as everything will go over smoothly.

Well, only the journals of Urq and Teja, and then good old 'Suti, have content at all that's worth important, in addition to my mun journal.
