Hello Dreamwidth World

[emeraldstag]

I'm excited to have an account here.  I don't know if the popularity of DW will grow to be comparable to LJ but I like the potential and it doesn't hurt it's very similar.  Meanwhile I've added everyone on my flist to my knowledge that has a DW account, I'll double check but I've started searching for communities and it's clearly in the early stages regarding content.

Unlike my insanejournal and journalfen account which are purely backups created when an exodus from LJ seemed possible, I think for now I'm going to try to crosspost entries from here to LJ and perhaps import my old LJ entries onto here. Still deciding on that one.  It's a bit of a blank slate but I definitely wish I had more than 6 icon spots, it makes the 15 on LJ's plus accounts seem like a lot.

I took a link htbthomas  posted about layouts and tweaked it about for emeraldstag .  I made it a Smallville theme, with a dark red, with a soft blue and yellow.  It reminded me how much I like tweaking graphics and working in code.

To an exciting future!

Hi!!!

You have a really cool layout. I'm a complete n00b and don't know how to do them, but I figure that I'll learn eventually. I'd love to have either a Doctor Who or a Torchwood layout.

I started a few communities hp_fanfiction, bleach_fanfiction and naruto_fanfiction in case you want to check them out.

It's great to see you over here!

Hi! Thank you dear!

Have you checked out dreamwidthlayouts? There are some interesting layouts there that you can personalize with a little tweaking.

You've certainly gotten a head start on the communities haven't you? I added the HP and Naruto ones. :)

Just subscribed to them.

I did manage to put up a Torchwood header, but have no clue how to do the rest. LOL.

Yay! I sent Sally the link to that journal you mentioned in your post and asked her to make the header and layout for hp_fanfiction. It'll look really neat I think. I'm looking for Naruto header pictures now.

Oh, I really like this layout! And welcome! :)

[emeraldstag]

Thank you! And it took me two nights to do it, lol. :)

Nicely done!

[emeraldstag]

Thanks! I was waiting until it was done to post here. And that took awhile, lol.
