Hello new friends!

Welcome. Please feel free to stop in and introduce yourselves. I've subscribed to everybody who's subscribed to me. Some of you have also granted me access to your locked entries. If I don't previously know you, I have not done the same. If you stick around I'll change that. I don't lock much, mostly stuff that could locate me in space. Though, fair warning, I don't post much either. Never quite got the hang of personal journaling, so I mostly just live in people's comment sections.

If you're new to DW or just new to using it seriously, I cannot recommend enough actually reading the official site announcements on dw_news and dw_maintenance. These are infrequent but pretty much always substantial, informative, refreshingly transparent, and they mean new goodies! They've just posted a welcome/orientation post for all the new people. I was planning to make a few quick posts suggesting basically everything denise suggests doing towards the bottom of the page (claim your Open ID, enable the beta features), so just go read what she says and do it.

Note: comment notifications are always delayed a few hours when they put up a news post because the system has to push it to everybody.

It's also worth your while, if you've not been around much, reading through some of the back-catalogue on dw_news. It's a good resource to understand how Dreamwidth works (philosophically and technically) and the features they've added on top of LJ's codebase.

Small self-pimp for people who've added me in the last few months: back when LJ moved their servers, I wrote a post about How to Move to Dreamwidth and Like It, with my accumulated wisdom about making the switch. It seems to be making the rounds, so that pleases me.

Last but not least: DOCTOR WHO TEIM SOON EHRMAHGAAAAADDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!

*waves hello* I am super excited about Doctor Who! Bill!

(This is my intro post here, but basically I'm Aussie/gay/fat/multi-fannish.)

Nice to meet you! I'm a bored former English major. I live in Washington, DC, and I have a lot of feelings about Doctor Who.

Bill! She looks great. I'm really excited. Trying to quickly rewatch/remember season nine before the new ep airs as it's been actually forever since we had any real Who.

Hello! **waves**

The "How to Move..." post was rec'd by a friend, which is how I found you. I don't post terribly often, and I'm not a Whovian (sorry, never had time to catch up on stuff), but I am keen on interesting people.

I'm in the middle of finishing my BFA in metalsmithing and jewelry, so I also don't have a lot of time to post stuffs, but occasionally I rant about life or put up pics of shiny things.

*waves back* Welcome! Nice to meet you.

I like shiny things! I'll wish you luck in finishing your degree.

Thank You!

Hi hi!

I saw one of your posted recced, thought you looked interesting, and subscribed because I am really hoping that DW takes the hell back off after this latest round of arrivals/renewed interest.

I don't talk much, but I'm trying to do better.

[promethia_tenk]

Hello! Nice to meet you.

If the DW renaissance is going to happen at all, it's gonna happen now, methinks. *gets out Dreamwidth pom-poms*

I don't talk much, but I'm trying to do better.
Lol, me too . . .

I landed here from the "Explore Random Journal" link and thought i'd say hello. I too have largely abandoned LJ (no longer post there and have deleted almost all of my entries; but still read my flist and comment). I miss the LJ heyday and hope dW has some activity. Anyway, hi.
