Dreamwidth PSA (and crosspost)

[alias_sqbr]

Thought I'd have a go at crossposting and also give a PSA:

If you want a Dreamwidth account, while you are welcome to join the queue you should also definitely get an OpenID account and validate the email address.

This
(a) Lets you comment, create a Friends reading list and even have icons, the only basic thing you can't do is post blog entries.
(b)Puts you in the running for an invite, and apparently guarantees you one by the 30th (a weekish from now)

For now, if you do get a proper account you can't join it to your OpenID but that functionality apparently is in the works.

nb I do not intend on crossposting much, since that'd just be annoying for people who've friended me both places. I just wanted to try it out :)

To begin with I think I'll ask myself "Am I comfortable posting this at lj?" and if the answer's "no", will post it at dw. But that may change as my dw account develops it's own vibe, set of readers etc. Anything which I think will be interesting to both I'll crosslink, same way as I do with posts I make to communities.
