hatman: HatMan, my alter ego and face on the 'net (Default)

1. I created two new Dreamwidth communities! I've never created or managed a community before. Wish me luck.

These are in no way official, but...

dwrocks is for anything and everything about why Dreamwidth rocks.

dwstones is for things about Dreamwidth that are... less than perfect.

2. I've kicked off dwrocks with an entirely unofficial slogan contest. Two chances to win three months of paid time!

3. I am posting this via Semagic to both Dreamwidth and Livejournal! Until the DW crossposter comes live, I think this will be my main method of posting. Assuming it works properly...

4. I have three two one DW invite codes! Get 'em while they're hot! ETA: Gone!

This new site sounds awful promising. :) I think I may shell out for a paid account, though. *g* They go on sale around the 30th, right?

Yep! That's Open Beta, mind you. But that is when paid accounts first go on sale. :)

Beta testing. Not officially completely ready.

Currently, it's in closed beta. No paid accounts. Important features like styles not yet actually in place. Even more important features like a payment system not in place, either.

Open Beta is where things expand. Where paid accounts come online. The deadline for when certain features have to be ready. Functional... but still in Beta Testing. Make sense?

May I have one if your invite codes, if it isn't too late? :)

Of course! I had mentally earmarked one for you. :)

Oh yes, and before I forget:

There's a nifty LJ import tool, if you want to try that. If you do, then you'll want to use this page to adjust your account level to Paid or Seed. That will revert to Basic on the 29th, but it'll allow you extra userpics... so the importer can keep the current ones where they belong.

If you still have one left, I'd be interested in trying it out. But you should maybe give it to someone who's been excited about it all along, as opposed to someone who's curious but unsure ;)

Yours!

And hey, there's definitely something to be said for encouraging curiosity.

(I was considering [livejournal.com profile] stellar_dust, but her sister has at least one invite code to give out, too.)

Just happened to be on at the time. :) Easy enough.

Have fun!

For the record, there's a nifty LJ import tool, if you want to try that. If you do, then you'll want to use this page to adjust your account level to Paid or Seed.
