This account has been setup for a while, but I decided to link the two today.

Test post.  (I don't plan to use the DW account very often, but having a backup option is nice...)

DW's a better, more reliable service

I find that the thing I use mine for the most is crossposting -- their servers are much more reliable than LJ's. Every once in a while I re-import LJ to pick up the comments.

Also, their web UI is a lot better -- the changes they make actually add value rather than breaking things.

I tend to post on DW and let it crosspost to LJ, since I currently trust DW more.

I do let folks comment in either place.

It looks like it worked.

I suggest posting to DW w/ auto-xlink to LJ, plus (what DW recommends) regular (e.g. monthly) ... whatdotheycallit, catching up on your xlinked acct(s). That way, if LJ suddenly collapses, your posts and the comments on them won't be lost (except comments since the last catchup).
