1) I'm going to try in earnest to switch over to Dreamwidth as my primary blogging site.

2) I have three invite codes for Dreamwidth accounts. Comment if you would like one.

3) I am also trying to start actually using an RSS aggregator so that I read blogs outside of DW/LJ, rather than just pretending I'm going to.

4) What blogs should I subscribe to? What non-LJ blogs do you guys have that I should be reading?

1. Why?

2. No thanks.

3. I like Google Reader, but that may be because I use multiple computers. On third thought, perhaps I'd get more done at work if I didn't use Google Reader...

4. There's a lot of interesting academia blogs out there.

LJ is a lot more restrictive. I think that's the main reason people have been switching over. I don't have any personal experience with it, though.

(This comment is sort of so I can test out their OpenID capability.)

1. No new reasons, just residual disillusionment.

3. I'm going to try out Liferea. I'm continuing to resist being assimilated into Google's growing empire. (I still use the search engine, though.)

4. I know there are. Haven't gone out and located any yet. Do you have any specific recommendations? (Yeah, I know we're in rather different fields...)

2) Would you do me the small favor of friending my Dreamwidth account? Last I checked on this, I believe I could read LJ entries from my DW friends list, but only if the "friending" was mutual.

Lemme know if it works now. Or do I have to do it from LJ? (How?)

Er, anyway, none of my LJ entries are private these days, hence the psuedo-anonymity and the 30-day expiration.

1) Can you change your footer to display the # comments and also to have a direct link to "comment" or "read comments" from the LJ crosspost? It would make it much easier to read & interact with your dreamwidth blog for those of us back on LJ - at least, assuming you want it to be as transparent as possible. :-) I know exactly how to do this if you want the help.
