Now I feel silly.

I have intended to start crossposting for a long time, since people seem to be gradually migrating to Dreamwidth (let me know if you need an invite code) and I do like the ethos and transparency at Dreamwidth, while at LJ I like my massive unwieldy and stubborn friendlist.

I, uh, never realized just how easy it was to set up crossposting, though, or I would have done it ages ago.  For those of you who have, like me, been considering it without investigating it, hop over to Dreamwidth and have a look.  It took me about ten seconds to set up.

ETA: Now, how easy/complicated is it to import old posts from one platform to the other?  Do I have to go back and do it manually, one at a time, or is there some clever app that would let me mass-duplicate old posts and toss 'em up here?  Central archiving is nice...

Also, something I don't know yet and am about to find out:  will this edit automatically crosspost as well?

ETA2:  Apparently it will.  Nifty.

ETA3:  And as of now I have imported everything from both matt_doyle and mattador .

Holy cow.

Easy! The magic Dreamwidth importer will copy everything across, usually in a matter of minutes (unless everyone's trying to import at once, in which case you might have to wait half an hour or so).

Awesome, thanks!
