Crosspost Get

[tablesaw]

This entry is being posted on Dreamwidth, and will be automatically crossposted to LiveJournal.

With the crossposter online, I have also imported my journal. There were some bugs, but out of 1,547 entries, 1,530 seem to have come through just fine. Good enough for closed-beta work.

Comments to this entry will be closed on LiveJournal. If you want to comment and you'll want to establish an Open ID account at Dreamwidth.

This entry by zvi has information about some of the best ways to handle cross-posting, cross-reading, and cross-commenting. Zvi also has a post about Open ID delegating, if you want your Open ID to reflect a different website.

All right, let's see how this goes.

If you want to comment you'll want to establish an Open ID account at Dreamwidth.

Er, isn't the whole point of Open ID that you just use an Open ID from anywhere, and don't have to "establish accounts" at all?

Hmm, I suppose if you don't have a dreamwidth account, though, you won't get comment reply notifications, which is a drag.

So if we want access to locked entries here via openid accounts, we have to specifically make you aware?

The short answer is: I'm working on it.

The long answer is:

The import tool is supposed to be able to import posting filters, and it does. It just doesn't import the knowledge of which Open ID accounts should be there. I expect that to be functioning by the end of the month (open beta). When it does, then everyone who had access will be able to have access with Open ID.

I'm going to be setting up a big old post that can give people access to various things, but that's probably not going to get done until tomorrow. That'll get a higher priority if I need to post something locked, of course.
