Answers to Dreamwidth questions

[branchandroot]

Our lovely co-owner has been watching the DW posts and put a post of her own together to answer some of the questions that have come up frequently.

DW fact sheet

Just to add a few of my own:

The current default journal style will not likely be the final default style. It's just the first one that got ported over completely! There are still a few bugs with it, as with all things during closed beta. (If anyone currently in testing wants to make use of the Core 2 Testing skin I made, instead, feel free to copy this into a theme layer.)

The default site scheme is still being poked at a bit, but it should be readable now at high res and low, no matter your font size.

On other topics, I'm interested to see the culture that's developing. A number of people are a lot more open in their posting and disclosure of identity. Being the web-cynic I am I hope this doesn't come back and bite anyone as time goes on, but right now it's all very bright and cheerful. Some people are using DW for a new start and some are importing all their history. Special interest comms are starting to pop up. There's still sawdust everywhere and the wallpaper isn't hung, but the roof seems to be on and the plumbing is working!

You know, the more I look at Dreamwidth, the more I want to get over there as soon as I can. I'm thinking that buying a month of paid time just to give the paid features a whirl? Is not sounding like a bad idea.

*nods* I think that was a great idea of theirs. It allows for new people without a code and without demanding a big investment. *grins* And tempts them with paid features, too.

Great link, thank you!

My pleasure! Syn is really good about answering questions.

DW keeps looking ever more interesting. If only I weren't broke. ^_^;

[branchandroot]

*sparkles* That's the best part, really. You can get an account by buying one month of paid time for $3. Or, if you like, I can put you on my list for invite codes.

List of invite codes? Really? I'd adore you for eternity if you would add me to that. T__T

[branchandroot]

No problem at all! I don't have a very long list, yet, so I'm hoping the first batch of invites that's handed out will cover everyone!
