DREAMWIDTH BASICS
HELLO LIVEJOURNAL/INSANEJOURNAL USERS. Dreamwidth is a website much like its siblings but there are a few changes!
• You will need an invite code to make a dreamwidth! When you receive your acceptance email it will include an invite code •
• If you use the LJ log-in widget, you can put your dreamwidth accounts there! •
• Points in the shop are basically LJ Tokens! •
The breakdown for icons is as follows:
basic (unpaid) accounts get 15 icons for free
paid accounts ( $3 a month, $17.50 for 6 months ) get 100 icons
premium accounts ( $25 for 6 months ) get 250 icons
You do not pay for icons, they're just part of the paid account package.
There are a few other nifty features, here's a list. Dreamwidth also has keyword renaming, browse on posting and on 'post new comment' pages and you can sort your userpics by different orders.
All of the basic html code you can use on LJ and IJ also work here. For a full list of support html you can go here. This link is also next to the rich text/html tab on your post a new entry page!
The site specific tags are a little different. <lj user="username"> has become <user name="username">. You can link to offsite journals like journals on livejournal (like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alexander like this <user name="alexander" site="livejournal.com">. At the bottom of the profile for all dreamwidths, there is a code you can copypaste to link to your dreamwidth on other websites!
<lj-cut="cut text"> </lj-cut> has become <cut text="cut text"> </cut>.
If you are like but no! I don't want to change how I write my cut tag and username tag! Well, to be honest you don't have to. You can still use your old LJ coding.
Dreamwidth default layouts are NOT THE BEST, this is true. But to make it like the flexible squares you KNOW AND LOVE go here for a tutorial.
Also, becauseemiri is amazing she wrote a guide to making dreamwidth's site scheme look more like livejournal's. You should all love her.
• Dreamwidth does not come equipped with a hoverover to display the name of the journal. However there is a greasemonkey script that will allow you to 'annotate' usernames, which can serve as a replacement for hoverover.
